Comment:
Had preferred this for the challenge, it has the best sharpness and a very calm feel to it. Other voters might have disagreed, though.

Technicals: 1.5/2 - a tad too dark; DOF is too shallow

Composition: 1/2 - focus point is too close to the edge, brightest area (=most attracting to the eye) is OOF; little compositional effort visible

Challenge Relation: 0/2

Originality/Creativity: 0/2

Overall Impact: 0/2

2 (challenge relation overweighted)

Technicals: 2/2
Composition: 1/2 - crop is loose at top, tight at bottom; higher POV would have been better (difficult, I can imagine)
Challenge Relation: 2/2
Originality/Creativity: 2/2 - outstanding idea!

8 - one of my top picks in this challenge

Getting your priorities right

Comment:
Technicals: 1.5/2 - brighter areas and spot in the background; slightly oversharpened

Composition: 1.5/2 - a tad too centered, but that's balanced by the tilt; very good lighting; objects in bottom left corner are slightly distracting; glasses are overdone

Challenge Relation: 2/2

Originality/Creativity: 2/2 - good idea to anticipate the first idea that comes to mind!

Overall Impact: 2/2

9 - top pick
