Hi from the Critique Club!
The first thing that stands out here is that vibrant neon green and yellow. It's really 'in your face'. However your burnt out highlights have harmed the image, causing a 'blobbing' of colour effect and and a loss of detail, so that you loose those lovely textures on the limes. The window reflections are also destracting.Defusing the window light with some tracing paper or some sheer fabric would give you more control over the lighting. In fact looking closer - it looks like you had a curtain and lifted up one side?
Your composition has suffered due to your harsh cropping of the original image. Your main subject is centralised which often creates a static image. You have also 'chopped' off some of the glass stem, some of the shadow and the smaller glass looks like it's being squeezed out of the picture;) The shadows are competing with the glasses and together with the crop this gives a feeling of not enough space, or too much cramped into one small image. It feels claustrophobic.
I would have liked to have seen a greater depth of field too, a smaller aperture would have created more depth in the image, from front to back. The second glass just seems to meld with the edge of the larger one.
I love the distortion of the limes created by the water, it really creates interest.
A great idea, so good luck for next time;)
