A bit weak. Some ideas: Off center it, or maybe only a portion of it to create intrigue.

Pull it to the edge of the counter, then stoop down and shoot upward; I see you were at the counter edge... the drama didn't happen in this short shot.

Limit the depth of field (how much is in focus) so there it helps it to stand out.

Centered is usually not a big impact... neither is the equal spacing all the way around.

Hope these stir up some creative juices!

The lighting is pretty good, a tighter shot/angle/perspective is needed for this type of shot.

Nice shot, but not very interesting, imo. Maybe if it was in the process of filtering, it might have added some interest?

Nice composition with the extra space aside of the handle. I like the lighting. The tones seem a little flat. Focus seems a litte soft on the lettering. I wonder how it would have looked filled with coffee.

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: I may be being a little anal here? I found a book called 'Well Water' but didn't find the rest of the title - maybe because you spelt 'responsibly' incorrectly? and surprised nobody picked you up on it. Anyway I don't vote on titles although confess to disliking overly long ones.

Composition: The placing of the bottle looks ok to me but the diagonal wood? splits the image and is rather distracting for me.

Subject: I quite like the label on the bottle as without it or the title it is just a plain bottle of water and does lack any real interest (apart from the background bokeh that I just adore!)

Technical: Exposure looks ok to me, the wood the bottle stands on is neither sharp nor all oof so is a little distracting for me and I feel the bottle could be a little sharper. Did I mention I love the background bokeh?.

Final thoughts: Not an interesting subject nor image for me sorry so if I voted it would probably have been a 4.

Nice shot, the subject is a tad boring, and the lighting is a bit dim, 5.
