Not really a good strong shot, but the only thing in my limited time, that I have been able to come up with. This was shot at a wedding I had to attend last night in Birmingham.

Ho Ho Ho. Where is the coin to toss into the glasses? I like the first one better. It seems to me the second has a better angle to see the glasses BUT there is too much distracting stuff. Maybe if you lightened JUST the GLASSES it would work better. I know a lot of work. Bsteph

Both have their good points but I think the second would be easier to send to the digital darkroom to doctor up a bit. I would do some blurring to the food and stuff on the right along with the background. The you will have a better DOF. I would then go and play with hightlight midtone levels some and see if you can give it a bit more oompphh. Maybe up one level on the focus, too. These are just my opinions though and you maybe out for a more softer look. Otherwise I think I think you have a great idea here :)

They're both good! As far as which one works better for the repetition theme?......hmmm....well I think the first....because the second the silver serving platter seems to be more of a distration from the pattern of repeating glasses....if you see what I mean.... I can post both or one......let me know!

I am, therefore I create.......
