It's a great shot, but you didn't follow the guidelines of the challenge: Use a non-stationary source of light to illuminate your subject.

It doesn't seem to meet the challenge of a "non-stationary light source".

Hello Magnus -- Greetings from the Critique Club ---

Congratulations on your first challenge entry. I see it has been selected as a favorite already!

Seems that those folks that commented on the photo liked it very much but, in general folks gave it average (5) scores.

The splash fills the frame and makes all areas interesting. Your use of light makes the contents look like gold (or some metalic element) and that adds an extra interest. The reflection is also a well-done element.

The glass and liquid are slightly out of focus. This works well for the "pillows" so that you can't tell what they are but not for the major elements. Although this was basic editting (so cloning was a no-no) I'd like to see less speckles of liquid to add importance to the major splashes.

For added "drama" I'd try moving the elements off center (perhaps lower left) by adding an asymetrical black border to the right and top. Not sure if that would help but a non-central composition might hold my interest longer.

I hope this is just the begining of your entries in the challenge.

Warm regards,
Theresa
