This certainly suits the definition but I think to have that Zen quality of wabi sabi, it's a touch busy. I'd have removed the plant and pot, the rug, and just had the bottle with the brick background. If those items were missing, the eye would go immediately to the bottle and not be confused by several other objects. I love old bottles. ;~D

I love the muted colors of this. The reflections and shadows are great, and the textures have great depth and interest.

With that said I don't like the crop, heh. It seems too tall to me. I copied it into Photoshop and played with some different crops. I found that cutting a bit off the bottom, a bit off the top, and a bit off the left side added more punch to the photo (a bit = about 1/4 of an inch).

the PP emphasizes the classic nature of this image & the experience of setting out the milk bottles for the milk man-does anyone do this anymore?? 6

I like all the different textures, but the composition is lacking somewhat. Maybe a different angle.

Up the brightness a little might help liven it up. Nice still life, but almost too low key.

I love this image, it's so ordinary and incredibly beautiful because of it's ordinariness. Picked for my top 3, bumping you up.

I like the gritty feel to this. Nice job on the idea and execution.

Wonderful composition and I like the small bit of color from the planter, and the sliver of it reflected on the bottle.
