Taken outside on a mirror. Just one glass. Waited for a clear day with blue sky but it never came, so it had to be this gray one. Used water to make it more interesting. Wanted the whole photo to be blue so I used settings for indoor bulb photographing.

Critique Club Critique
(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) - The subject is well chosen for the challenge. I like the simplicity and lines of the glass, as well as the few water drops. Well laid out, with off-center main subject.
(2) BACKGROUND – I like the light colored background. It would be interesting to see a light blue sky as you said you were trying to get. It might have been too much. You might want to experiment with Photoshop and drop a blue sky in and see how it looks.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL – Very good; focus is right on, good use of DOF in my opinion. Keeps eye focused on the glass, not reflection
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL - excellent job. Good choice of white balance to bring out the blue.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO – well executed and good photo. I would guess that the score, while quite good, wasn’t higher was because many people judged it as of medium interest.

I don't see a reason for cropping so tightly, unless it is to hide the way you are holding them at that angle. But I still would liked to have seen more of the glasses. They are beautiful glasses and deserve to be seen. The glass on the left is out of focus, and this doesn't add to the photo in my opinion. Decent composition but poor execution. PTL 4

Cool... not sure just want I'm looking at but this is a neat photo! I love the dof... The word reflections and tree reflections are a little distracting... but it's a very interesting and thought provoking, and blue photo. Nice job and good luck!
