cislanderComment by tristalisk: Greetings From The Critique Club!!
Initial impact: Colorfull but what challenge is this for?
Meeting the challenge. It took me a moment to catch it but I will agree that it is quite the "odd couple".
Color: Lots of color on the red cups but I thing a bit more light maybe shining through the bottom of the bottle would help pop out the greens and show off the bottle a bit more.
Lighting: Not to bad but with the bottle light and a back light to even out the reds and shadows it would have looked crisper and a little more catching IMO.
Sharpness: It is a fairly crisp image but it looks like you DOF may have been a little shallow. The daqrker back cups look to be a little OOF.
Composition: To crowded and busy for me perhaps just one cup tipped over beside the bottle would have delivered a more wowerfull message. The beauty of the bottle is lost in the clutter of plastic.
Over all: Not a bad shot. Technicaly it pretty good, it has some appeal in it's conveying a message and telling a story. Wich are always huge pluses in my book. The dirty nature and shadows of the cups makes the the image unapealing. It definately conveys the message and challenge well But it lacks the "eye candy" appeal to realy go further with DPC voters. Best of luck in future challenges.
