Greetings from the Critique Club!

Composition:

I really like your composition here, the lines leading you to the blue glass at the top really helps this shot. The fountain works well against your choice of black background.

Technicals:

Firstly I would say this is more a close up than a macro and could be a reason why you didn't receive a better score. I like the light you have used and the capture of movement within the glass is nice.

My personal thought:

The challenge description said the subject should not easily be identificable at first glance. The thing I struggle with with this shot is had I not read your description I would still not know what I was looking at and I think maybe voters were looking to at least be able to make out the subject after one or two glances.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

I never understand why people seem to like infra-red so much. Seems to me just another trick in a world of tricks.

I like the contrast of the blues with your whites here. I might have cropped out a bit more of the foreground, as I think that the bridge is the real focal point here.
