The saturation looks a little strange to me... Doesn't really hurt the image, but it does make me wonder why it isn't compleately de-saturated... hopefully it's not just my eyes playing tricks!:)

I really like the sharpness of the rope and the pole! It gives the photo so much character! I almost feel like that cropping out the boat would actually help this, as the eye would not wonder between the boat and the pole with the rope. Just my 2 cents.

Hello from the Critique Club.

I didn't vote on this challenge so this is the first time I've looked at your image critically. As shown by your score, you executed your idea pretty well. As shown by the comments, there are a couple of things that could have been done differently to achieve a higher score, mostly the lighting at the stem and base of the wine glass. I really don't have any suggestions on how to better light this image but it would be fun to play around and see what could be done.

I also noticed that the pattern etched into the glass was a love it or hate it proposition. My guess is that your score would not have suffered if it was not there but did just a bit because it was. My own personal opinion is that the etching is a distraction and interferes with the impact of the flame.

The quality of this image would have rated a 6 or 7 in my book, depending how it compared with the other entries. I like this image and I would be proud to have it in my portfolio if I were you.

Very nice shot. Depth of field really works well here.

good composition but looks a bit overprocessed, there's a halo around the post, the ship looks flat
