4. So what's the word for that?

Reflection? Refraction? Shadow? Something else?

I wanted to say “The (fill in the blank) on the wall is even prettier than the real thing.”

5. The light is being partially transmitted

and partially reflected.

I had been outside and came in to see this. Late day sun coming through the windows across the room were hitting the vase just right to cause the shadow/reflection on the wall.

7. Whoa! You have an eye for a great photograph mnhtnbb!

I'm thinking many, if not most, people, upon entering the house and seeing this scene might say oh, that's pretty and walk away. But you aimed and focused and gave us this gorgeous image. Thank You!

11. I do see beauty in lots of places

and try to capture it. It's a challenge!

8. A study in reflection.

This is a very good photo. The reflection on the wall looks filled with flame.

12. The reflection does look like flame, doesn't it?

9. That is gorgeous!

Also reminds me of the glassware my husband collects. That piece would look right at home next to a lot of his stuff. Good thing I enjoy looking at it myself!

I lost most of the glass I had collected over 30 some years in a house fire in 2007. I've always especially loved colored glass. My grandmother had a turn of the 19th to 20th century amberina glass vase that I hoped to have but my brother and his wife took it when our parents significantly downsized. I bought this piece for my new house and so far I've really enjoyed it. But today it knocked my socks off.

14. This is the gift that Photography gives us.

The ability to SEE. And the ability to SHARE that which we see.

We learn to see the world in a rectangle, to frame and to make things otherwise missed in passing important.

It's why we do what we do.
