The most obvious rule is that the glass be the MAIN subject. We want it to be the main player on the stage, not just to be playing an incidental role. Basically, we want the glass in your image to be the first thing our eye is drawn to! We want to really enjoy the textures of glass, and all the nuances of it that make it so interesting.
Also please note:
1. Submit your best photography. Excessively noisy, very poorly composed images or images where the glass is out of focus will not be accepted. Also, excessive flash reflecting off the glass is a no-no.
2. Abstract images should include a description of the object. If a description is not supplied, the work may not be accepted.
3. Reflections are fine, as long as the reflection doesn’t draw away from the textures of the glass itself.
4. Works with heavy manipulation to the point where the textures of glass are lost will not be accepted.
5. If an object is made of glass, but not very obviously so, please add a little extra note in the description to clarify (for the purposes of this group, porcelain objects will not be accepted, nor will images of sunglasses).
If a work is rejected, it will be because we feel it does not fit the rules and/or the vision for the group, but please don’t be put off! If you are uncertain, submit the work anyway. It may also help to look at the featured work for ideas.
Thankyou!
