The ocular witness
This is a close-up HDR photo of the inside of a wine glass, with a CD in the background. I love how the image of the wine glass seems like an observing eye - an ocular witness. My eye is drawn first to the circular shape of the wine glass stem, which being in-focus, nicely visually balances the fluidity of the soft-focus shapes and colours in the rest of the image that are beyond the focal plane. Also, the multiple placement of adjacent complementary colours (red/green, blue/orange) draws one's gaze around the composition, and gives it both balance and a visually engaging dynamic energy.
