Without the title here, one wouldn't really understand what they were looking at here in my opinion. The lighting, depth of field and overall tones look great. I just have no idea what it is without the the title.

Good take on the challenge.
Overall seems odd with the perspective or tilt here, skewed to leaning to the right. In Photoshop, try this: Cntl-A to select all, Edit, Transform, Skew, then grab the lower right corner and drag it to the right some, then grab the top left and drag it to the left some - play with it until it looks more lined up right without leaning, then flatten the layers. This will make it so you don't have to re-crop if the image was simply rotated.
Good luck!

Though I've seen this same/similar shot before, it's well done and a good take on this challenge.
Not sure I'm a huge fan of the acid toning here, maybe a darker hue of earth tones would be richer, almost a draganized style to grunge it some without the acid tones. Personal preference only. High marks.

Just a touch more dodging in the left side an you nailed it.
(the downside of having a calibrated monitor here)
Not sure I care for the border on this, but I don't vote on the borders.

Very clever and creative take on this.
Great technicals as well and venture a guess this will be in the top 5.
Good luck!

Woah!
This is fantastic in every sense of the word and was absolutely the right choice to make this a b&w.

This is amazing and magical.
This has all the qualities of something I would see on a book or CD cover.
Congrats on a truly fine piece of art.

There is the magic.

Thank you for this picture and the story behind it.
Embrace all that is special in life, every day, but cherish the everyday moments.

Clever image though I've seen same/similar a few times.
With the advanced editing allowed here, the small specks all over teh glass should have been cleaned up - would score far higher in my opinion.

Very interesting image here. I find it interesting that the other image in the green challenge is exact same title, exact same pic.
