Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that the oranges together with the circles reducing in to the orange make a pleasing shot.

Technically this is good. I'd have preferred the crop to be either wider such that the plates aren't crammed in so much or tighter so that the large plate is not fully visible. As it is there is a slight feeling of claustrophobia. I will say that the lighting does seem a bit harsh.

Artistically this is good but you know that this works well from your PB shot. I wonder if these are the same plates with a hue change?

In summary this is a good shot but the top 10 placing tells you that. Good work.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
Gerry

What a refreshing, great idea for still life. That slick black background is such a nice compliment to the vibrant color. Congratulations on 9th place.

Striking geometry, very different than the old Dutch painter approach to still life. High score for graphic quality and originality, minor deduction for slight glare.
