Nice abstract image, though it looks more like cran and 7up than wine here...

This shot is very interesting. I'm curious as to how you achieved the effect. You have different patterns in the wine glass as compared to the background, and the reflection is curved. Not sure how you didi it, but I like it!

Critique Club

Does the subject grab your attention? Yes

Sharpness: Sharp

Is sharpness important? Yes

Exposure: I think the exposure is right.

Contrast: Contrast appears flat to me.

Color: The colors in my oppinion are very accurate.
It appears to be an overcast day and I think this shot was
taken at the right moment.

Composition:
Are the various elements of the photo well balanced within the frame?
I say Yes. Eyes are drawn correctly through the photo. Though the bridge can seem like a slight distraction, without it the picture is boring. You framed this shot well. If it fit the theme a little better in my oppinion you have a top 20 photo here. When I look at this shot I think more of the movie Jaws when Broadie told his son to take the boats and play in the lake or the Lagoon rather than the ocean.

Point of View: Personally I would have gotten down slightly. I think it is important to get some more water in the shot.Don't have to worry about getting the top of the rail in the shot. As long as you have the bridge you are fine.

Overall this is a great photo.

This is definately an exceptional image! From the unique background and the patterns reflected on the glass, to the surrealistic distortion of the rightmost glass and the upper right shape that almost looks like a face... I don't know if the bottom shadow is recieving any critcism but I find it adds to the picture , making the background a little more dynamic. My only nitpick is that I find the glass object at the extreme right is a superflous element that didn't need to be there. Keepin the same height, and cropping your photo so that this glass is no longer present, at least in my eye, creates a much more visually pleasing photo. Very artistic, a great capture nonetheless, one of my favs this week. I hope a "How'd they do that?" is written on this one :)

WOW!! That picture is SO COOL! How did you do it. Only thing would be, make it a little bit lighter.

Strong composition, love both the patterns, nice subject.
But is that the photographers nose we are looking into above the glass reflection??????? That is not so nice. :) I really looks like we are looking into a nose with a little moustache under it.

Strange stuff in the fluid. Reflection on the glass -/- (but not in score).
