Chinese Ball

Comment by giantmike:
Having the reflection in the ball is a bit distracting. Maybe put up a sheet on the window to diffuse the light.

Greetings from the Critique Club!
ha ha, what are the chances that the random image pull for critique club would give me the two image you've entered into challenges! Congrats, it's you're lucky day .

Composition and Lighting: Love the reflection you've captured here. It seems to me that the pots are off center (too far right), so maybe either crop the image to make it artistically off center, or divide the pots by the center. Kapesh?
The side-lighting is quite nice.

Technical: Nitpicks: the dust/sand below the red pot is distracting. The top red rim is slightly distracting (either crop it or include more - so that it isn't right along the edge of the frame). Slight noise will get you voted down.

Conceptual: As you've seen, you got hammered DNMC - does not meet the challenge. A piece of advice for DPC: meeting the challenge in a mostly obvious way is almost king. I would say the true importance of a photo entered to DPC is having a wow factor that appeals to the masses and makes it popular. H'anyways, I like the idea you were going for here and think it would have done well had you included 3 pots.

Overall: Keep up the good work.

This is a tough challenge to vote on. I really only see two subjects here. I like the fun colors.

Seems a little orange - the counter in the background being tilted is distracting for me. I would try leveling that out and cropping a bit off the right so he is not so centered.

As much as I try to open my mind and bend it outside the corners of the box that is the challenge description, I just can't see how this fits the challenge...

Otherwise, the colors are lovely and the reflection is good. Despite a little dust on the mirror and the shot being off center so much for no apparent reason, this is a very good photo.

Nice mood, but the background is too cluttered.
