Reflection of light- Straight images

I like this image because of the way that the light reflects from the badges and the way that the yellow badge pops.

I like the way that the black and white colour manipulation makes the yellow badge stand out even more and emphasises the reflection of light from the badge.

I like this image because of the way that the light shines off of the glass and the way that the light adds an interesting coloured affect to the artists arm.

I have manipulated this image by increasing the contrast and decreasing the brightness around the glass and the object this helps to make the colours on the subjects arm to appear more bold and striking.
