Hi Chris! These are really cool glasses but the way you captured them adds so much more. They are way cooler than a composition I just posted that is a little similar. Your work is always a pleasure to view :) #5554939

Chris Budny February 27, 2008 0

Thank you for your kind words! I tried another similar comp a year ago, but the resulting edits were much softer and darker (was shot without a light tent, against black vs. this one.) #5561149
