Hello from the Critique Club -
This is a nice phote and a very clever submission to the challenge (great song too). Technically it is beautiful. The focus is perfect, the lighting is perfect. I especially like the lighting. I love the way the light shines through the potion onto the table, I love the little square it makes. I like the way the semi circle of light and shadow in the background mirrors the semi circles of the bottle. I like the sliver of light on the bottle top.
The bottle itself and the label and the flowers are adorable. Please tell me that is your parents in the picture..grandparents? The scene is carefully arranged with no distracting elements. Very nice. Like a magazine add.
However something is wrong. What is it? Well, the colors are slightly washed out I think it is the blacks that are the problem. Could the darks be a hair darker? And perhaps the composition is just too stages and too simple to be stiking. The bottle is in the center. Too centered? the flowers are in the rule of thirds spot. good. Why does the bottle look crowded? Maybe simply switching to portrait view instead of landscape - then the flowers would be crowded but the bottle could have some more room.
Great picture! Careful set up! Terrific lighting! Don't drink that stuff all in one gulp!
Please remember that this is just one persons opinion, mine and I am FAR from an expert here.

| It would be harder to photograph, but I think it's supposed to be black... |

| I really like this shot. I think the composition could have been strengthened dramatically though by moving the entire thing to the right. It is static right now, and with the exception of the shadow, is empty on the right, giving it an unbalanced feeling. Still and awesome shot. |

| Good photo. Bottle a tad to the right might help thirds. A second light from the right would have softened the dark shadow. |

| Very thoughtful. Intense colours and sharp focus. Love potion could only be red, just as poison is always vile green. |
