Seems too cropped without enough resolution as a result.
The whites are overexposed to my taste
The composition might have been more pleasing if the pole would not have been so dominant in the view

Would have liked the bottle more in focus
The overexposed background in the left upper corner distracts me from the beverage

Candle-Light Wine

I would have liked it more straightened, with a less wrinkled background and with more exposure on the wine glass instead of the candle

Fisheye bubble
by Dvosdon

Comment:
This is unexpected but really terrific: a 6+ and top 10%(I feel the pressure mounting wondering how to keep this up in the future :-) ).
I was pleased with the bubble itself, but less so with the background and the reflection. There was no time left to shoot another one, so I submitted this picture hoping for a 5+.
Thank you all for the nice and helpful remarks and for the great scoring.

8 Sandals in a row
by Dvosdon

Comment:
Thank you very much for all the advice and the scoring. I got a second 5+, which really means progress to me. I hope to keep it up and to improve.
I learned here that the title has a certain importance and that it should not be too complicated. I mentioned 8 sandals (which is correct) to emphasize the shallow DOF and make people wonder "are there really eight? ...". I was still playing with a wide aperture of F/1.4.

Home made Ice Cream
by Dvosdon

Comment:
Thank you all for your very helpfull and nice comments. I wish I could have shared some of this ice cream with you all.
Indeed the prime focus is on the bucket. I was just playing around with a diafragma of F/1.4 which is quite unforgiving. By the time I saw the picture on the screen, the ice cream was already all scooped away, and there was no second chance.
My first picture getting a score over 5, which was my short term goal. Although not a spectacular progress, I am quite happy there is progress. I guess I will have to invest a bit more time in the future trying to keep up this level or preferably to improve.
