a well exposed image, but it just feels... empty. yeah, i know the challenge is empty room, but others feel filled with emptiness, while this one is just ...empty. i'm sorry, this makes no sense, does it?

i think this might have benefitted from a wider angel to have more room init, or a landscpe format, to emphasise the emptiness. i think that the expanse of wall is rather heavy on hte pedestal.

I really like this compositions and the colors, even though the red is a little too "dense", whatever I mean by that! I like the sparkle on the glass.

The black is almost too black. I would like to see some shine and more of a reflection from the bottle. For some reason the black has a really "processed" appearance.

I really dig the texture in the wineglass.

This is an excellent shot. I can even see the condensation on the bottle. The little sparkle on the wine glass is excellent. I'm really surprised that this didn't score higher. Maybe the part of the wine glass that seems to be blown out hurt you, but I actually like it in the picture. Good job!

It's hard to feel the emptiness of the room because such a small part of it is shown.

Nice use of colors. The lines are very crisp and uncluttered. This photo would stand on it's own without the challenge which I think makes a photo great. You could see this on an office wall. Great job.

Composition/subject I rather like this composition - I like the use of the two strong leading lines, and the pattern in light orange above the darker orange. The complementary colors play off each other nicely, too.

Technical The lighting works well for this image - no harsh shadows which gives more strength to the architecture itself. A possible suggestion would be to see if you can darken the blue building a bit to either get rid of or tone down the stuff you can see inside the windows.

Meets challenge Yep, meets challenge! Some may not have seen it as very exciting architecture, but as I said, I like the way the two buildings play off each other.

My opinion Might not have appealed to the masses, but I like it!

I didnt vote in this challnege but I would have probably gone with a 5 on this. Its a funny idea but lacking any kind of pop. More of your eye would have been nice and maybe a different color shirt. The shot has a brown kind of feel to it and a little bit of color could have livened it up a bit. The background is a bit distracting, but the overall focus is good. If you could have included something to send home the idea that its DPC that youare looking at outside of the title (maybe clutching a brown ribbon in your hand) that would have added to the interest. Overall not a bad shot just not a great one.
