Losing my marbles

Greetings from the Critique Club
Hello Pam, nice to meet you! *rofl*

Composition
I like that the composition is spilling into and not out of the page. So often these little things get ignored. I like that the spillage looks like grapes - only hanging the wrong way in this case - still cool. :) Also - you cut off the end of the glass. Intent or space?

Color
Red tint makes this elegant - so does the ribbon. Your marbles don't lend much in colors, but they do contrast with your bg.

Focus
A bit soft, but I don't think that's a problem. I disagree that it's tack sharp, but that's just me.

Lighting
Beautiful, perfect lighting all except the base of the glass where it meets the neck. Hard to eliminate though.

Subject matter
Glass, glass, all around, but not a drop to drink (from). I like the marbles spilling, instead of some liquid - it gives the feel of something out of the ordinary. It's very nice!

Overall
You shot this on your bed? Why wasn't I there?

You SHOULD be proud of this shot (and the 5.5 score isn't indicative of this shot).

Matt

This is going in my favorites before 12:05am tonight. I love this shot - it's one of the better backlit shots I've seen - and I love the reflection - it looks like sunset on a lake. Excellent work. 10

Wonderful shot with really creative use of lighting. Slight shame about the hot reflection at the bottom but otherwise I love it. 8 - floyd

This is very lovely. The highligt in front and center does compete for attention with the subject though. Outside of the challenge you can clone that out. However for the challenge the best solution would likely be to crop.
The subject is beautifully backlit...very nice!

Nice image, symbolic but also mildly sexy. The blue female hand is infinitely more expressive, which helps this image a lot, than the orange male hand. The orange hand seems just the result of a color filter or hue sat; it might have been more interesting if it had been painted as well. The light falling on the female hand is also more interesting than that on the male. 7
