Red Shot

looks delicious, although a bit short in the technical department.

I like the patterned background, red drink, and very action oriented shot. I would like to see some more lighting, especially the bottom row of glasses, and a bit more symmetrical of a crop.

It looks like a robots eye. I like the flatness and color, but I think the background and crop feel a bit boring/default. this might look good with a bit of a wooden texture behind it.

It took me a while to find the shotglasses in this scene, and when I did, I felt like they were kind of arbitrarily used.

the focus and lighting are both treating the two cards on the table as being the most important thing.

that glass on the left is lovely, so creamy. The reflections in the right glass aren't as interesting to me, the blue seems a bit out of place against the warm composition.

any chance you'd be willing to share your lighting on this one?

this feels really dark... not just in exposure. between the black background and the blue color cast, it seems a bit uninviting.

I find it interesting to include both both organic and industrial textures, but I'm not sure this is pushed enough.

nice fun looking shot, expect it to do well.

on the technical side of this, the cropping needs some rotation still, it's just a smidge leaning still. I think the only other thing that I'd like to see done just a bit differently is that the shotglass seems *very* close to the edge of the table, which makes the background feel a bit overwhelming/close.

I like the high-key look, there's still plenty of contrast, although I do wish that the rim of the glass wasn't as blown out.

I'm not sure what the object in the shot glass is... It looks like ice, but it has a strangely unidentifiable shape to it, almost like the pipes in super mario bros.

overall it's not a bad shot, but lacks the huge visual punch/greater meaning that would take this to the next level.

I like this lighting, something I'll have to try, even if it is a bit in the center of it. I think the focal point is the edge of the horizontal buckshot, the metal end, and if so, it feels a bit soft in the post processing. i'm not a big fan of the pun, but I think this could have been pushed further, it's almost as if you weren't sure people were in it, so you showed a shotglass. I think with the buckshot in the frame, some broken glass would have been more appropriate.

I'm not a huge fan of the pun.

here's what I think is working/not working.

working- i noticed the hole right away, focus is sharp.
not working as well- it seems a bit dark overall. the table seems a bit crooked/angled, and you can see the seam on the left side.

on a different level, I think this would be stronger without the gun. or if it was pushed a bit farther back in the DOF. As it sits now, the gun is struggling to be the center of attention, I think due to the dynamic angle, and the fact that it holds more contrast than the glasses do.

Cacophony

an interesting shot, I've been wanting to try something similar, just to say i've done it :D

the colors are nice, and the reflections create an interesting effect, but my biggest gripe here would be that the music notes seem completely unrelated to shotglasses/drinking. could be interesting and relevant with things like cherries, lemon/lime wedges, or even colorful bottles of alcohol/mixers.
