The reflections become quite distracting.. I can see you in a couple of spots (i think).
Otherwise a great photo of a good choise of subject for the challenge

Exposure and ficus are fine but the composition doesn't work. There are a lot of whys too. Why that background? Why did you crop the bottom of the bottle?

Technical: Fits the challenge. Exposure is good, composition feels a little bottom heavy and the bottle rolled just slightly to the left kinda bugs me. The background is interesting but maybe too busy considering the subject itself is pretty busy. Focus is good. I'd like to see the lighting a little better controlled, you've got reflections and hot spots all over the bottle.

Personal: Creative idea, maybe a little over done. More shots with better diffusion on the lights might have yielded stronger shots.

My vote: 5

i like the idea but i don't feel that the background really flatters the subject(s) of this picture...

Nicely done. Only two complaints from me - I'd like to not see the bottle chopped off at the bottom, and I think I can see you in the reflection on the bottle, lol.

I wish you'd used a plainer background.

This would be nicer standing up than laying down. Also, the reflection needs some work. Perhaps using light to help soften the reflection. The angle is a bit odd with the bottle on it's back. The colors are nice though. The idea is good.

Nice, but I would have liked to have seen the bottle standing, perhaps. Lighting is good. Bottle is turned a bit to the left and the reflections are a little distracting.

I guess that you put the intense brocade behind the champagne for a "rich" effect but it detracts for me, unfortunate light at bottom of bottle

Ah, what money will buy. Nice textures, depth of sharpness and choice of background cloth.

very nice but I dont like the background its to busy looking

The background may have some signifigance that I am not aware of, but I find it distracts from an otherwise good shot. Perhaps if it was just a bit out of focus, it wouldn't be so attention grabbing.
