Refraction effects are interesting - move the object or the camera just a few mm either way, and things can look very different.
This is the same type of set up as a previous shot ( http://365project.org/ltodd/365/2012-11-24 ) but with a very different feel. The camera is on the tripod in a dark room, and the glass is back lit by the tv which is displaying an image from my laptop. Oh, and I discovered my ironingboard is a perfect 'table' with adjustable height.. who would have thought!!
