Theme: Life through a crystal ball

My first post for thedarkroom!! I do not (yet) have a glass ball so I thought I would have a try with this. Didn't get the refraction - I guess due to the ball being faceted rather than smooth? Interesting even so! Can I introduce myself as the new Thursday poster?! I am Anne, @365anne Looking forward to being a part of this group.

@365anne It takes it away from predictable into fascinating. you still can see the colors just not the detail.

Makes an interesting view nonetheless! Looking forward to your posts @365anne.

Thank you, Katy! Except the compliment does not belong to me!
I have stepped back from the Darkroom and Thursday's now belong to Anne @365anne!
(Anne @365anne - it's a good idea to post your name when you post here).

@farmreporter thanks for letting me know Wendy. I will try and remember and will repost this with her name. I have to confess I didn’t think it was your style

[Anne]

@farmreporter Thanks Wendy, I realised my mistake and corrected it too late!! Doh!

@grammyn
It's so neat how we come to recognize each other's style before we even see the name come up under the photo!
Good to know that I actually have a 'style' now! LOL!!

I like the view through the stem, I would have focused down on there - great to see your first post and have you in the group 👏

Very pretty. Thanks for joining us.

I like how faceted glass refracts, reflects images and colors. The image at the throat of the stopper is just barely visible.

[thedarkroom]

Welcome Anne you have an refraction in the neck of the stopper 🤗 great shot! X Jacqueline

[Granagringa]

So nice to see your image...you used such a good depth of field here to get such good focus on the glass and the soft background!
