Well this certainly fits the challenge. I did not vote in this challenge but if I had, I would probably have given this a 5 or a 6, not really sure wich and would have to compare it to the rest of the challenge to decide fully. That means I think this is a pretty good photo, not bad at all but just isn´t as interesting as the subject could be and seems a bit like a snapshot, a good snapshot but still a snapshot.
Before even reading what you had to say about the photo I got the feeling like you only took a couple of photos and just let that be enough instead of exploring what angle was best for this subject. I can´t put my finger on it but I just get the feeling this was not the best angle or perspective on these bottles. They do seem interesting to me so coudos for spotting them and taking a picture, not sure normal people would do that so great eye to spot them.
I like the colors and DOF, shot is just a tad too dark for my personal taste but nothing that is bothering me. I think the lighting is mostly what´s \"wrong\" with the shot, just compare this glass shot to the one in the 4th place and you should get what I mean. I know you didn´t control the lighting in this shot but that is pretty much the biggest difference between this shot and the one in the 4th place, the feeling of lighting and carefully set up glasses versus your shot.
Anyway, like I said, this shot is allright despite my nitpicking :)
Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.
