Greetings from the Critique Club!

Aesthetic: - skip -

Technical: - skip -

Challenge: - skip -

Conclusion: This is above average composition which is good "technically" but the relation to challenge theme is hard to make out. The "subject" is beautiful but similar colour background it not letting the subject stand out (though the gradient is kind of cool). Technically the photo is well executed as no details are lost but needed more work on aesthatics to make it more interesting.

I'm by no means expert in area of photography. My comments are purely based on my limited understanding of technology and art behind digital photography. Apart from doing detailed evaluation of your submission, my intent is to learn different styles of photography by critically evaluating selective submissions. If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via email or PM.

Wish you a great day!

Nice contrast on the ice, making it look like fire.

Beautifully lit. Like the glow of the cup part, and the graduated color of the background. Great border choice. 10

Nice shot, the flare off the bottom of the glass is the only distraction.
