this feels a bit flat in the contrast. the depth of field works well, and I like the way the frame is filled, but I wish there was something .. more.

Shotglass on it's side
by NathanRanta

Comment:
for a shot like this, it'd be nice if there was more in the image- that is, a story about why there's a shotglass outside on the concrete. maybe showing more of the surroundings, or someone passed out drunk, or.... something.

as it stands, it's sorta bland, the lighting isn't terrible, but it's not great either. there's a very strong/warm color cast, which would be nice -- if there was more clue to the environment.

Tia Maria - Liqueur Spirit

Comment:
nice lighting, smooth colors. the bokeh is a little uncommon for 'product' shots. The only critique I really have is nit-picky, I don't care much for the little white reflections on the top of the vertical shot glass.

Tequila

nice emphasis on shape, I appreciate that.

with the perspective flattening everything out, I almost wish it was cross lit a bit to even-further get rid of the shadows.

only other suggestion is that your lime looks awfully dated, either old or dry, and a bit of freshness would really make it look better.

"Shot Glasses!"

Comment:
the 'blood' on those glasses looks entirely too real. I can't say I'm a terrible fan of the pun, or the pink glasses. the 'blood' dripping is interesting, especially at the base of the glasses, and I'm not sure the big splotchy puddle is even necessary, and feels like it takes away from the authenticity of the scene.

there's a lot of weird materiality in this. I don't mind the dirty/dusty/grungy look, but I do wish it was a little more consistent, for example, the material that the glasses are sitting on vs the more scratched/less reflective metallic background. I like the back-lighting, but it seems like the light source is really smally (can see hairlights on the right glass and middle glass, but not the left-most glass.

On Tilt

nice formal shot.
borderline feels like it's placed on a step (as opposed to a counter/shelf)
the shadow in the background, as well as the highlights add just enough character to this. I also get the feeling this was done in natural light, am I correct?

Devil's Drink

With this title, it would have been neat had you been able to convince the flame to split into two.

on a formal side, the edges of the glass feel a bit soft focused, and i'm not terribly fond of the crop

Dont look at me like that!!

Comment:
I can read bacardi, but I'd really like to be able to see the labels a bit more clearly of the other liquor. I like the sepia, and the dirty glass. the reflection feels natural in this one as well. The odd shaped wooden things are trying to steal the show from the bottles on the left side as well.

This feels a bit strange on a few levels. It seems to lean just a bit to the left, but that just might be my eyes. I also think the reflection is given a bit too much real-estate on the page. It's not bright enough or sharp enough to be interesting, maybe if this was shot on a mirror, that'd be different.

the main thing that I noticed, and is probably what's going to hurt your score a bit from the other voters is that the lighting is causing some really strange highlights on the glasses, while simultaneously making the scene feel very flat/low contrast. If these glasses were lit from one side (and have a black card as your bounce on the other side) you get really strong contrast, and a nice looking vertical stripe on the side of the glasses.
