Adjust Contrast, removed reflections of my lights "very small". I liked the flame movement. I wanted to work more with a controled flame. Blured background to remove paper texture.

Greetings from the critique club. After viewing your photo I have a few things to mention. First the choice of subject and back ground combination work very well. Its a well thought out composition and setup. I wish it wasnt so tightly cropped on the left with so much negative space on the right. I would have liked to have seen the top of the bottle as well. The only other thing is the flash reflection on the bottle. Overall very well done, I would have scored this a 6 on initial look and depending on the rest I may have bumped it to a 7 later on. Nicely done and good luck with future challenges.

Unique idea in this challenge but it is a little busy with the whole bottle in the shot

The label is a bit blown out from the fire, nice shot though

For me this has the WOW factor A. Because it is Absinthe B. What a perfect setup for a challenge C. Cuz I have never indulged and so desperately want to try.

The image: small blown out area in the label from the flame so what. But maybe a little more DoF and noise reduction. Awesome! 9

This would have done better if it had more space on the left edge and showed the entire bottle. It looks rather shoved into that left corner.

Something about the composition seems a bit off. Maybe with the flame in the location it is in, there is more attention drawn to it - but with the brightness of the flame I think anywhere it is positioned would have worked. I don't know what type of composition I would prefer.. it just seems off. If I could put my finger on it I might mark down for it but as it stands now I will not. There is haloing around the glass and bottle and while not immediately obvious, it is noticable.

I like the colors - no, I adore the colors. I also love how the flame seems to be coming from the glass as well as the bottle. The lighting is good too, and while some people might not prefer the flash reflection on the bottle I think it adds a nice touch.

photo seems unbalanced, would be better to crop the right side. Flash reflection on the bottle is distracting. Nice color and crispness.

very nice idea though I think the lighting and composition could have used more work.
