Tremendous shot, Mark! I love the way you set it all up and the fascinating juxtaposition of the boy and the handcuffed hands. I'm missing the connection to "Glass" but maybe I'm just dense.

All best wishes,

Endre

This is an excellent portrait; perhaps without an obvious direct connection to this week’s theme but a great picture anyway, Mark.
I guess we’re looking at the painful reflection on the glass window as the boy walks away…

To me what lifts this image far above the ordinary is the the poignant emotional focus of the sharp highlights in his eyes.

Hi Endre ,
Dont panic your not dense at all, i just failed to get the message across properly. The shot is through a piece of 1/2 inch glass (Our fire guard) with me one side and my wife and son the other. It took me hours to set up the lighting to work :but i missed one thing. The glass cannot be seen there is no reference to it other than the reflection, It needs a frame. Although i am a little dissappointed it came accross this way it has been my most ambitious project to date.
Live and learn
Take care
Mark

Hi Karen,
many thanks for looking in. Once i managed to get the lighting right , and not see the rest of the kitchen, i called my son in. I told him the story, he said ok and produced this within 5 frames. I knew i would have to use it

Take care

My thought was that you were about to be transported to the glasshouse (slang for prison as you probably know). Anyway, it's well intended and captured even if not too obvious re the connection.

What a fabulous shot, and such an amazingly well-conveyed emotion and story. SOunds like this already took hours to set up, but I am wondering if there is anyway to have the handcuffed hands reaching out to the glass with a reflection so that you capture both your hand and the reflection of your hand to make it obvious that there is a reflection and therefore glass between your son/wife and the hands...

Take care and many thanks

Mark,
What an intriguing shot!
Conveys quite a bit of emotion. Really like the lighting on the boy's face.
Your hard work paid off.
