Hi Jon, greetings from the Critique Club!
This image did very well, it appears, and I certainly concur with the positive statements below!
In this photo, I am given some very clear and simple clues as to what is being communicated. First, the items themselves have great focus and clarity, and they are made even more interesting by your skillful cropping and still life arrangement. The tilt adds yet another dimension of interpretation, so I get a kind of lively, funky feeling to the scene, too.
It looks like you are getting good use out of your new flash! This is flash done right, and without harsh highlights or shadows that often accompanies a flash. Your entire lighting scheme is well done; the high key approach is appropriate for the mood you are building.
Your composition is also quite effective. The three items are well balanced from left to right, and are in strong compositional places within the frame. You may want to think about the balance top to bottom, too. It may be slightly top heavy, visually, with so many of your darker elements weighted in the top half of the frame.
My only real suggestion is somewhat esoteric, I'm afraid. The vibrant light and tilt do a lot to help this imae along, but I'm still just a tiny bit unsure as to what I'm supposed to feel about these objects. They are attractive and engaging, but I find myself not caring for or about them as much as I think I should. I'm being pretty picky here, though, that's for sure!
This is a very well done image. Keep up the good work!

| Stunning. Great composition, the reflection of the cork and corkscrew in the glass just round it off nicely. My top 3 this week. |

| The tilted horizon is just the right touch to make this interesting. Great work. |

| Nice and clean picture. The reflection of the corkscrew adds interest, rotating it also is more interesting. Good composition! |

| Your exposure is very good. I like the composition, but not the angle. I think I understand the look and feel you were going for, but liguids presented at an angle like this look unnatural, like it will slide off the frame at any moment. |

| Nice idea (see mine). I like your choice of angle and the white background, very crisp and professional looking shot. |
