You did a nice job with the lighting. Would only suggest a crop that takes off the empty side on the left. Would really put focus on the details and cool effects of the money dropping into the water.

for this particular type of shot I think there is too much negative space there on the left side

Not bad... and the coin on the right has some lovely smooth lines (must have been dropped from some hight or thrown pretty hard). If it was me I would have cropped tighter to show more details of the coins and removed the distracting glare from the left of the photo.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I think this is a very sweet photo. Glasses of course are quite fragile, as are bubbles, so a good combo of the two. The settings are fine for this shot.

However, dpc voters tend to dislike glare, and there really isn't much compostion. Image has a snapshot feel to it, which is why you have no comments (albeit a critique, now, and that you finished so low. Mind, you did get 3 10s.

I empathize because I can see what you wanted to do with this shot, and given the nature of the challenge that can be quite tough to do. My advice, as always: keep shooting. That really is the only way to improve. Second piece of advice: feel free to look at the early stuff I shot 3 years ago, when I first joined the site with a crappy little p&s. They'll not only make you feel better and hopefully encourage you to keep trying :-)

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

I think this shot have used a different angle or a different crop - its the street signs on the left that bother me.

Too much sky puts the horizon in the centre of frame, more attention on the cracks in the road would be good
