    B&W Abstract

    This image is a close-up of the bowl of two wine glasses touching each other. It was captured in a vertical orientation and then rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

    Setup
    The background is black velvet. A small continuous-light lamp behind the background is facing a white wall behind it. The wall redirected the light toward the transparent subjects and outlined them in bright tones.

    Nice friction, at least that's what it looks like to me.

    Mike, I love it. Would a square format work? Just a thought.
    Cheers Ole

    I like it very much Mike I think it is an image which might also work in some other ways like a square format as Ole mentioned or in the vertical format .

    Thanks, everyone!

    John: I had not thought of friction but now that you have mentioned it, I also see that characteristic.

    Binnur and Ole: Though I have made relatively few abstracts, my inclination is that the genre has more potential for successfully using a variety of crops and compositions than other genres. It's in that context that I'm sure your ideas about how to present the image would work well.

    I love it. To me it looks like a wheel of some kind that is spinning, wouldn't have guessed that it was 2 wine glasses.
