Very mellow, very pastel. The orange and violets work very harmoniosly together. The light and shadow mix is spot on, no blow outs at all. Pity about the two white spots on the wine glass though (9)

Hi from the critique club Jon - doing my bit for rationality etc.

Gave this a 6, which is absolutely my average mark these days, and I don't know that I'd change that. Your own comments I think are spot-on, though I'm not completely convinced about the challenge: many many people took shots that I think would more appropriately have been for a challenge called 'Light' rather than 'Lighting', and i was hoping for more people to use light to shape and define their subjects, rather than go for pretty patterns: there are those here who have the ability, and few did. So within those terms, I didn't think this was out of the ordinary, but within the terms imposed by what was actually entered, it was a little above ordinary - so placing 26th is pretty good.

The colours seem a touch cast - like they've been pushed toward the incandescent spectrum, rather than a 'true' centred spectrum: if the light coming directly through the bottles above the liquids was more 'white' i think the colours would jump more, though perhaps the feeling of a dark bar and a glow from behind the bottles would be lost. It does transmit something of that feeling, of those nights when the barman just seems to be a silhouette, and you can't quite amke out the labels on the bottles, but perhps needs a figure to really do that; as it is, as you say, it's just patterns, and no particular focus.

Beautifully soft photo. The colors are fanstanstic, the camera angle, the smooth tones...it all makes for a fanstastic picture and among the best in this challenge.
