Am I the only one that has seen several winners in the past year or so with this exact same idea?

I was a bit surprised to see there are hardly any entries with artistic value in this challange. I feel this shot is not a great example of a still life, it would better suit a challange named 'refraction' or something like that.

I do not ask you to agree with me, it's just my opninion... but I'm not sure I am allowed to have one, since I haven't posted any images myself.

Superb effort. In response to Jojakim's guts-ache, I would have on my wall in a flash. Very well done.

Jojakim - What a miserable git. Sour grapes perhaps?

Technically allright, but who will hang this on the wall and will be attracted to it in time? Where are the powerfull still life's with meaningfull symbolism?? Haven't seen any of these in the top 10.

I really enjoy the color contrast from the refracted colors and the background. Very easy on the eyes!
