Looks like you went totally overboard with brightening the backround as it looks very noisy and frankly I don´t understand why as the backround is pretty distracting and would have looked much better if it were darker. I also have to put a question mark about your composition as it´s both tilted downwards to the left and there is IMHO too much space to the right and not enough to the left. I still gave you a 4 as this is of course on topic but I think you can do much better than this, just put a little bit more effort in the image next time, that´s all... On the plus side the bottle itself is lit pretty well, normally I dislke glare in the glass but here it adds some interest to the shot.

I'm actually quite turned away by the wrinkled blackdrop. Perhaps if it were less in-focus.

good job! now, i know that the candle light isn't your main source of light, so if i were to re-take this shot i would incorperate a Gold "L" reflector to try to get a bit more soft light behind the wine glass to make the photo really sing with the velvit looking background. thats just a bit of constructiuve critisism for you, and i know how hard candle shots are to pull off, but you did a wonderfull job!

The wrinkles on the background are really distracting.

The whole image needs to be tilted, don't like the backround, the candle is too light, need a nice wooded handled waiters corkscrew and toss in some cheese.

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

Nice image. It looks a little tilted to the left to me which is a distraction..

I think you have a nice still life here. I would have liked to have seen either more titl or none at all. In it's current state, it feels to me that somebody didn't check the viewfinder before shooting. JMO.

I find the tilt of this shot to be very distracting. This is easliy corrected in PS or what eer graphics program you use. Other than that it's a nice shot with good composition.

Very Nice...But The Lack Of Light Makes It Look Like There Is A Film Over The Entire Image.

The wrinkle in the background distracts. Also looks like there is a fair amount of either noise or saturation issues. (reds seem to be tough on digital to keep from supersaturating) It's also a little crooked (look at the wine bottle) 5
