Greetings from the Critique club. After spending some time looking at the challenge entry. I am brought to a few thoughts I am going to put forward for you. I love the colors of this entry. The purple and green go really well together. It has wonderful composition and the border works really well. Nicely done.
I do have concerns that in reference to the challenge, they appear to be drinks, although by reading the description I'm sure they can be either/or, or both. The photo seems overexposed/blown out in areas. Making the glass stems disappear at some points and all together in others. The shallow DOF with the focus on the front straw takes away a bit. Perhaps the same shot done at f9 or so, would have made more focus then added gaussian blur to make the effect that you want. I think you actually scored real well for the challenge and a pretty nice finish. Well done. |

| Love the red/fuschia straws to offset the green drink. Unfortunately, I feel like the classes are leaning to the right a bit. Not sure if it's the crop or an optical illusion. |

| Good use of themed color in a well thought out arrangement. Good perspective. The contast is a little weak for showing the shape of the glasses and the focus is on the soft side. |

| This is really lovely. Good colouring, the composition is perfect but I guess I'm not the first one to have a problem with the depth of field |

| After really trying to like this border I've decided that I would have scored this higher if the border was black. Sorry. Otherwise beautiful pic! |

| I think it might have been nice for the limes to have been in focus, but it's a good capture, nonetheless. |

| Avocado smoothies! Haha, just kiddin. Looks yummy although it's hard to wrap my mind around summer right now. I would maybe consider a pure white background to the pale yellow you have going - just an idea. |

| Lovely coloring and light!! Creative idea for a shot as well :-) The glass in the front seems to be slanted a bit to the right, but that's my only nitpick! |

| I would really like this shot if the glasses wouldn't get lost in the background, maybe a little more contrast there would help! The purple straws add great contrast to the green...great shot! |

| Ooohh, nice color!. I would like the back glass and the lower mint/lime garnishes either more in focus or more out of focus. |

| This would have bee a beautiful shot if it were straight and had a greater DOF. |

| Think it would have been a bit better rotated and not so much out of focus. |

| Nice idea and nice composition and nice restricted colour palette. Could really do with straightening - might be a case of shooting from a slightly different angle. Also, there's a real loss of detail in the glass stems which practically disappear into the background. |

| Looks over exposed, washed out. Nice set up but would also like to see a bigger DOF. |

| A little over exposed and no real point of focus ( I think its on the front straw but not too much ), like the set up but could be improved with about a 15 degree CCW rotation. |

| Nice arrangement and color. Wish for more sharpness, DOF, and lower levels. |

| Overexposed -- the back of the rear glass as well as part of its stem merge with the background. Garnish on the table is out of focus. |
