Composition - This is very cool. I think that if you could've had your comments shown it would've helped the voters. Most of the time I don't think its an advantage, but in this case I do. I think that a lot of folks were wondering how it met the challenge. There's only one thing I think I'd change about the pic in terms of composition - I don't like all the space at the bottom of the pic. If it were me I'd have cropped it a bit tighter and put it at the bottom. I understand that you left the space on the bottom for the floating illusion, but I don't think it was very effective. But the actual bottle is very cool and I do think the concept is great also.

Technical - Just a little overexposed for my taste. Other than that, very very nicely done. Good clear photo. I can't tell if you did anything else to it processing, If you did, it looks great.

Overall - I would've figured this would've done very well, but I think people were wondering what it was and how it met the challenge. I can sort of see their point, but I still think it's a quality photo. I still think that lowering the subject in the frame would've proven beneficial. If I scroll up I'm looking for it right away but obviously its up toward the top. Hope this could be a little helpful to you. Good luck in future challenges. - Bob

Lovely portrait. Really like the lighting and use of duotone, along with excellent contrast. A little less shadow on the girl might have been my only suggested improvement. Good luck in the challenge.

Saki? I don't travel to Japan anymore and I miss a good saki. This captures the spirit well.

Very ironic presentation. The person on the right seems emotionally, as well as, physically bound - and not enjoying it.

Very nice portrait. The image is sharp and the black background helps me foucs on the subjects. I like how only one of thes subjects is looking at the camera ... like he isn't aware of the photo being taken. My first 10. Good luck. Jacko.
