Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: I may be being a little anal here? I found a book called 'Well Water' but didn't find the rest of the title - maybe because you spelt 'responsibly' incorrectly? and surprised nobody picked you up on it. Anyway I don't vote on titles although confess to disliking overly long ones.

Composition: The placing of the bottle looks ok to me but the diagonal wood? splits the image and is rather distracting for me.

Subject: I quite like the label on the bottle as without it or the title it is just a plain bottle of water and does lack any real interest (apart from the background bokeh that I just adore!)

Technical: Exposure looks ok to me, the wood the bottle stands on is neither sharp nor all oof so is a little distracting for me and I feel the bottle could be a little sharper. Did I mention I love the background bokeh?.

Final thoughts: Not an interesting subject nor image for me sorry so if I voted it would probably have been a 4.

A better background or more unique bottle would help this concept.

I think the position of the camera is a little to low. Think about all the bear commercials.

I'd center it, harmonic colors, but didn't catch me, 5

The shot is a little boring to me. An actual well with an old wooden bucket might have been better, assuming you could find one.

This one is a little bit blurry and just not the most interesting photo. Try a different angle.
