Description What is this? Not really sure. My truck. A unique angle. Simply enjoyed the crisp reflection down the side, almost an exact mirror of whats being reflected. I find it somewhat ironic that the deep abysmal black paint still reflects such vibrant colors. Almost as if it was a canvas. Not something i'm excited about, but wanted to add it to get serious critique about what you all think about it.

Named due to its glassy lustre and dark jet black color similar to that of Obsidian. The reason it is refined is due to the smooth curves and lack of sharp edges, unlike the unrefined version of obsidian which can have razor sharp edges due to the fact that it is a form of glass. Thx killedbyaspork! <3

great angle, i like the shot, but the only thing that i would suggest is a different background, not too crazy about the parking lot. other than that i think this shot is great.

(sorry for posting twice) i meant that the antennae looks a little pixelly in the reflection on the car >_>

I feel even more inferior to you now I really like it! And since I'm still not much on photography, I dont have any crits... except how pixelly the radio-antennae thing (brain fart.. ) looks in full-view. Hmm.. I wouldnt know how to fix it though. Awesome job. I like how vivid it is.. so colorful and... well, creative ^_^

Yeah i see what you mean. Its dependant on the ratio at which you resize the image. Even in the original though it's a bit jagged. Not sure why. Thanks though Inferior pfft. Now I know why you asked me for that antonym.

I think it was in Ancient China or something where they used a polished black stone as a mirror. I think it might have been obsidian or something. Mrar. Random factoid! Er... Well, semi-factoid.

Hehehe, semi-factoid [only because your not 100% sure] but I like it. I'll follow up on that. May even end up renaming the composition after it. Thanks for the perfect factoid, complete or not!
