For some reason- this makes me think of Budweiser. Nicely executed but very basic. It doesn't make me want vodka. I feel like I'm not getting it

Absolutely natural

I love the vibrant flowers- I was actually surprised I didn't see more flower entries! At first glance- it feels like the lighting is focused on the center 1/3 of the image. But now I wonder if it's just the way the light is reflecting off the blue /green background of that portion? Also, for this challenge- I would recommend really cleaning up the edges to give the bottle silhouette.

I love the blues here. The water/ could pass as fire? Or visa verse? This image is filled with lots of tiny details; lights from the building, flag pole, all seen again in the reflection of the surface giving me a lot to digest. It all seems to compete with the bottle itself.

I love the honesty of this image. It very much feels like 'a real moment'...but without the title, it in no way makes me think of absolute. The lighting feels a bit harsh- lots of shadows on the table- ground etc.

I'm sooo sorry to see this didn't rank higher. I love the idea! I am, however, a bit distracted by all the bits on the desk- wondering if a cleaner surrounding would have made the idea stronger/ easier for the viewer to absorb?

Gram

I started to comment during voting and since no one else has...
The first thing I notice is that the flowers are artificial. Also, I'm wondering if a brighter light source would have provided you with more contrast seeing as you choose to use blk/wht? Perhaps would have given you more depth. As a viewer- I'm wanting to know the meaning of the tin objects in the lower left- but I can't quite make them out. I do love the title! That's what I called my Gram...

I like the way you used the subject simultaneously as the frame. Nice prop placement.

I will be the first to admit that I'm exhausted with seeing the wooden form on this site... I will try to set my prejudice aside. The layout here leaves the entire top half of the photo just... black. Bringing in the crop focus my attention better. The black confetti also feels... awkward? The subjects feel random- completely different proportions. I have challenges absorbing the overall idea of this pieces

Love the color, texture, reflection... This looks like an ad for an exotic resort. I wanna go.
