Bell,book and candle. - created by Disco
“Bell, book and candleâ€
The expression: "Bell, Book and Candle" is a reference to excommunication from the Catholic Church. The ceremony was performed by: "Ringing the bell, opening the book, and lighting the candle," and closed with "Cease the bell, close the book, and quench the candle."
The phrase is old and first appears, in Old English, circa 1300:
"Curced in kirc an sal ai be wid candil, boke, and bell."
Shakespeare used the phrase in King John, 1595:
“Bell, book, and candle shall not drive me back,
When gold and silver becks me to come onâ€.
Thanks to the following for the use of their images: Michael D. Dunn for the girl, olga for the Bible, and eastlothian for the hand bell.

good idea, my only suggestion would be to reduce the opacity of the reflections and you'll have a great entry
author says:
thanks i fix it
Lamantine says:
looks way better now
Chalty669 says:
Overall nice entry with some nice reflections. Not sure what the the white line is going through the middle, but it's a bit distraction. Also a full resolution file would be nice.
author says:
white line is going through the middle i mean it the glass is Transparent 
it is Separative between the wall and the table
Chalty669 says:
Author, I understand that you were trying to show the transparency of the glasses by splitting the wall from the table. I would only suggest that you make the wall or the table a different shade or color instead of having the white line run all the way through your image. When I step back and look at your image my eyes migrate directly towards that area. There are plenty more details throughout your image which are overtaken by that line. This is just a suggest and after everything is said and done you have some nice work here. Good Luck!
author says:
thanks Chalty669 i fix it
