Nice idea. The colors seem a bit muted (red looks black). i don't like the light in the background, looks great across the table, but brings out distractions on the wall. A little more DOF so the back glasses have more clarity.

The blue looks a little pale, but a good shot

I think this image meets the color challenge and it is a clever idea. However, I would like the red color of the red wine to show up a little better. It looks black to me. The blue liquid appears to have some junk floating in it, which makes it less look less appealing. Overall the white balance appears to be off to me. You might have some success by setting the white point off of that hot spot on the wall to get the colors to look more natural. You might also try opening up the lens a little more to decrease the DOF. The marks in the wall are somewhat distracting for me. It looks like you were using some backlighting from looking at the bright spot on the back wall. I think this is a very good idea and is what will make this picture work, but I think you needed it to be stronger and more direct, not bounced off the wall. The hot spots on the wall and stems of the glasses detract from the picture for me. Finally I think I would have done the cropping a little differently. I would have cropped a lot more off the bottom and left some space above the glasses. I hope I donĂ¢€™t seem too harsh with my comments. I really see a LOT of potential here, and I hope they can help you get some pictures that you are very proud of.
I gave this one a 4 for the way it is now, but I think with a little work in post processing it could easily be a 7 without even re-shooting.

This is a nice composition, but I think the lighting is hurting your 'color' theme. the title suggests three colors, but the lighting is not making those colors dominant in the image... - setzler

Effective; nice take on the idea too.

black and white and oh so blue. there's nothing more blue than a sad teddy bear. no points for cuteness in my book, but technically, this is a fantastic photo. the lines shadows on the wall, and obscuring of the teddy bear on the bottom as the image delves into blackness really set the mood very well. the haze of to the right is a nice touch as well. great photo. 10

Ahhh, why'd you have to go and make me cry? I know that teddy bears are people too. I love the lighting.
