Please vote for your favorite image from the "Specular Highlights" assignment for the "People's Choice" award. The guidlelines for this assignment were to compose an image that contains specular highlights, taking care to properly expose the primary subject in the image. (Specular highlights occur when light is directly reflected off smooth surfaces such as glass, chrome or water. The term specular means that light is perfectly reflected in a mirror-like way from the light source to the viewer.)
To vote for an image, simply select the image title in the "poll" attached at the top of this thread, and click "submit vote." NOTE: You need to be logged in to see the voting options. Voting will end at midnight, Mountain Time (GMT-07:00) on Sunday, 13 December 2009.
