Hey there from the Critique Club
First of all, congratulations on a new personal best score. This one is nearly a half point better than you last personal best. Well-done.
Camera Work/Technical:I like the cool tones that you created here, and the depth of field is terrific. My only technical issue is that the primary focus area seems to be on the reflection that is on the right side of the globe. It might not have been possible just based on the materials, but I'd really like to have seen this one more crisp around the continents.
Lighting: The lighting is superb, and your chosen materials lend themselves to this. Again, the cool tones make this one appealing.
Composition/Content: Something is off with the composition of the image. The globe itself looks well centered, and I think that this was the right choice for the capture. However, the bowl appears to be shifted a bit to the left of the frame as if you were angled to one side of the setup. It gives the image an unbalanced feeling while it looks like you were shooting for balance.
My Opinion: 5.888 is a very good score for this image. I think that you did a fine job meeting the challenge, but your creativity was lacking a touch. Glass has become a very common subject on this site. I do like what you did with the lighting and the cool tones, and this gives the image a nice darkness that I do like a good deal. Again, congrats on the new personal best.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric
