Congrats on your best score and your best finish! I gave you a 7. I thought this was the best of the golden egg entries.

* Greetings from the Critique Club *

Hi Leo! Wow. This photo didn't seem to appeal to the voters at all. I think it may of been a little too abstract perhaps?

One thing I noticed about the winning photos in this challenge was that you could still make out what the photos were of whereas in your entry it's really difficult to even suggest what it may be. I'm trying to say this in a way that doesn't sound too mean but there's not a lot that appeals in this photo.

It's really hard to say whether the focus is right or not because of the subject but if I was to say anything it would be that the top of the photo seems more in focus than the lower half. The texture is interesting and works well in that regard. The blown highlight where the light is shining through I don't find adds any excitement.

All up, I think you gathered it was a photo that wasn't going to score too well maybe? Obviously voters didn't find it appealing and that's where it fell down. I think looking through your portfolio it's fair for me to say that it's not one of your better photos but we learn from these experiences. Keep at it and best of luck in future challenges!

Interesting picture with good composition but annoying glare.

Very nice lighting and composition. Don't prefer the soft white edge frame though.

I like the top 8/10s of the image, but I'd prefer the vase in focus and maybe at an angle so that the top of it forms a curve not a line. Still an attractive image
