    Ok, as some people are finding 4 days a bit too short time period to submit something, I'm going to extend the deadline for this challenge until 4 p.m. GMT Tuesday 6th February.

    I will also make the deadlines for all future challenges longer too, so you will have around 5 and a half days to submit your entries, rather than 4.

    I hope this is ok by all :) and I think BlueCurl is staying in the competition, now that I'm extending the deadlines.

    I've pm'ed mine now.

    I found this theme really tough, and I took a load of photographs to get a half way decent one, still not happy with it though!

    Good luck everyone. :)

    Me too. I don't know how many pics I took and rejected before I finally found one I was halfway happy with.

    As challenging as it was, I loved it. It was a great learning opportunity.

    Re: TalkCSI LPS #1: Challenge 4 - Glass

    Wow! Nice work everyone. There were some fantastic pictures in there.

    My votes are as follows:

    14 - Too much clutter on the left side of the image. The doorway in the background is distracting. Maybe turning your camera to the left and photographing from a sideways angle you could have gotten rid of this clutter.

    5 - Too much blank space on the left side of the image and the tops of the glasses are cut off. By moving the composition more to the middle of the image, it would have been more eye pleasing.

    12 - Good picture, but the bottom of the plate is cut off. By dropping the lens down you could have cut off some of the dead space at the top of the image and brought the bottom edge of the plate in.

    4 - My attention is drawn to the glass and cds in the background rather than the glass in hand.

    10 - It's a tad blurry and too much background - I think a closer shot would've worked better.

    6 - Seems a little too cluttered, too much in one shot.

    Great job, everyone! Really. It was a hard topic, and I think everyone did great with it. If it was this hard to choose this time around...

    5 - the first glass appears to be slightly blurred. Also, I think taking the picture from a different angle would have been better

    14 - I find the shadow from the glass to be distracting. It kind of makes it look like something big is coming around the corner of the door.

    4 - The cd's in the background are distracting.

    Re: TalkCSI LPS #1: Challenge 4 - Glass

    14 - Too much space on the left, a slightly strange angle and there may be glare from the flash

    5 - A lot of space around the glasses, and the first glass appears blurred

    6 - Appears a little blurred and there is glare from the flash or lighting

    Wow, sorry guys! This was a really difficult choice, all the pictures are fantastic! :)
