Hi! Could it be that a little washedness out comes from using a polarizer not at the best angle w.r.t. the light? After all, ZX-L's viewfinder is only marginal at best for such exercises?
Here is another shot where I tried to give it all the punch I could. Also I think the polarization was somewhat better in this case: http://www.usefilm.com/showphoto.php?id=174763 I have a question to you. A general one. Does it happen to you that you take a shot, then forget why you took a shot, or what you meant to say by the shot, and then because others tell you, you just recall? I think that one of my ideas was to intersperse the trivial reflection with the emerald pattern. I remembered it only after I read some of the responses. May it be that it is a sign of a weak photograph(er)? Thanks. --- Boris Liberman www.geocities.com/dunno57
