Orb.

Shot as part of a "glass" shooting assignment to work with reflectivity and transmittance. C&C please.

I like this shot. I get lost in the bubbles!

Good choice on the subject. I also like the composition. The hot spot seems super distracting.

The one on the top-left? Yeah, i agree.

Thanks for the feedback. Anybody else?

Bubbles! I like!

I would try to diffuse that bright spot some more to make it look better.

 

[midget patrol]

It was actually hugely diffused already. I might try to re-shoot it though.

Thanks for the feeback, guys (and girls).

I would attempt putting some mineral oil or baby oil on the orb. The spot will be less scratchy.

Polarizer might help, too. Perhaps shooting against a darker background would make the hotspot fit in more.

Very interesting subject, in any case.

Consider that the hot spot is not set in stone so to speak. Pull back the light and try different angles. Another option is to light a piece of foamcore. Or maybe black cards to cut off stray light. Hot spots are definetly a battle. It is important to control them because it is the first thing the eye goes too.
