DS280 Imperfect (AKA Where's my other ear?)

Topic: Make a photograph of something made out of glass. Be sure to go for interesting reflections or highlights.

 

...and...

 

IMPERFECTION: Weekly Photography Challenge. I wanted to show something that's almost perfect, but it's not--it's IMperfect. All the crystal, and reflections, and delicate form with a missing ear...

 

Two exposures combined in the camera. Both 1/15th of a second, both with aperture f/7.1, but one focused right on the subject, the other one intentionally out of focus (focused at infinity). Light source in the first shot (the focused one) was coming from camera left a little to the front of the subject; for the out-of-focus shot it was directly over the subject. The light was not a strobe but a LED flashlight. Does that qualify for Strobist? I guess not...
