Did a retake of a shot I took before. The sake bottle is placed on a slide light box, then shot in the dark. I wanted to create the perspective of something floating.

Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil

Composition - This is very cool. I think that if you could've had your comments shown it would've helped the voters. Most of the time I don't think its an advantage, but in this case I do. I think that a lot of folks were wondering how it met the challenge. There's only one thing I think I'd change about the pic in terms of composition - I don't like all the space at the bottom of the pic. If it were me I'd have cropped it a bit tighter and put it at the bottom. I understand that you left the space on the bottom for the floating illusion, but I don't think it was very effective. But the actual bottle is very cool and I do think the concept is great also.

Technical - Just a little overexposed for my taste. Other than that, very very nicely done. Good clear photo. I can't tell if you did anything else to it processing, If you did, it looks great.

Overall - I would've figured this would've done very well, but I think people were wondering what it was and how it met the challenge. I can sort of see their point, but I still think it's a quality photo. I still think that lowering the subject in the frame would've proven beneficial. If I scroll up I'm looking for it right away but obviously its up toward the top. Hope this could be a little helpful to you. Good luck in future challenges. - Bob

Saki? I don't travel to Japan anymore and I miss a good saki. This captures the spirit well.

Weird and cool. I'm not sure how well it meets the challenge, but I love the way that vase shines out from the darkness as though it's hovering there in mid air.

Interesting shot, although I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at. Good focus and clarity. (I think!)

interesting but i would like to see it a little closer, maybe too much background.
