Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi NeonSpirit...

I like your idea on this photo quite a bit. I really enjoy a photo that is somewhat abstract where the shapes and textures are the main element of the image. This particular photo offers quite a bit of that.

Compositionally, I think there may be room for a minor improvement by rotating the camera just a little so that the lines formed by the tops of the bottles create diagonals in the frame rather than horizontal/vertical lines. There is a slight diagonal from left to right, but I think a stronger diagonal could possibly create a stronger composition.

This image may also be a good candidate for a black and white image. The bit of amber color that is available here does offer a bit of a unique touch, but there is not enough color to rule out the option of trying this in grayscale. A grayscale version would possibly further enhance the subject of shape and texture by eliminating that small bit of color in the image...

Excellent shot and keep up the great work :)

This is a pretty nice picture of some bottles. Composed well. I would like to see this with higher, exaggerated contrast - it might turn into art. Still, a good image.

Very well done! I like the limited color range; tone and contrast are perfect for this shot.
