A bit too dark for me. I see what you were shooting for and like the reflections from the glass and liquid, though.

Nicely done. Good idea using the candles for the lighting. I've seen too many wine glasses with crappy reflections. This is great. I like the the candle refraction near the bottom of the bulb.

Overall I like this. The refelctions off the candles into the glass and onto the surface are nicely captured. The one thing that drags my eyes away are the red and bluish-green spots in the upper right. The subject is nearly centered, whereas I find if the focal point is slightly off center it adds more interest to the viewer.

Greetings from the critique club Joyce!

Very interesting photo, I like the technique and the idea. Unfortunately the result wasn’t attractive enough or exciting enough to get the wow votes. I think the subject and the technique are good, but a flaw in your plan is the in focus part on the bottom of the image. It draws my attention to a place in the photo that I shouldn’t be paying attention to.
Suggestions: Get a little closer to the glasses with the camera to put more of the image in focus (through the glasses), but pull the glasses away from the board a little more (to eliminate the in focus part outside of the glasses). Maybe compose it so just one lens is visible and it coves about half the image, with the rest of the image out of focus?
I hope to see more photos from you as it looks like you have a interesting/creative mind. I hope you find this helpful, feel free to PM me if you have any questions of my review.
