Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil
Composition - Meets the challenge. I think you chose a difficult subject with this vase due to the lines in it. I think that the distortion of some of the lines throws things a little out of whack. If it were a little more uniform distortion (write that one down) then I think it would've been more accepted by the voters (myself included). The concept is one I've seen many times, but I think you are the first one to do a patterned vase. Most of them I've seen are done with champagne glasses or something with minimal curves. Another flaw I see with this is the highlights on your dropcloth. I think the backdrop should've run on one level across the bottom. The flash of light on the left side could've been eliminated too.
Technical - The exposure looks excellent. Good colors and a nice sharp pic. Very nicely done.
Overall - A solid shot with a couple minor things that could be fixed to make it a real contender. I think you've gotten the concept right and just need a little refining on the setup end with the light and the drop cloth to take this to the next level. A well taken photo no doubt, but I am pretty sure that losing the light and fixing the background would've done a world of good. Nice pic and good luck in the future - Bob |

| It's hard not to think of the winner of the Blue challenge with this image, but hey, if you find something that works, use it! |

| the only thing that gets me about this is the rippled edge of the cloth next to the yellow background. It leaves me wishing for a straighter edge there. BUT! This is quality work overall.. really like the patterns, and the black against the yellow. lighting is done very well too. |

| I like this effect a lot, and you've made it into your own here. I like the patterns on the vase, and the point to which the water is filled up is perfect. |

| This photo is good, but could be INCREDIBLE if the black line beneath the yellow on the left was straight. Technically a nice shot - 8 |

| Cool photo, got a direct 7 from me. That yellow is so pastel! The transformation from yellow to black is clean and sharp. The refraction effect is perfect! Good job, you owe me one :-))))) |

| Very nice shot. Same idea as TWO TONE TONIC which was in the BLUE challenge. I like that you can see the area which the vase is resting on. The black cloth used for the base is very nice and adds to the image IMO. I also really like the lines in the vase that cross over one another. Really adds and draws my eye to the center of the photo. |

| This would have been a 10 but that cloth at the bottom makes the photo look terrible. keep shooting. |

| The only thing I would like to see improved is the bit of cloth on the left side that's bunched up, would be nice if it was just solid black. |

| That black cloth at the bottom detracts from an otherwise excellent photo. |

| nicely done, the only thing that I would suggest would have been to crop the bottom of the shot off, or taken a closer framed shot. Personally the cloth on the bottom is a little distracting, but its not a big deal just something that hit me because i'm obsessive compulsive. Otherwise this is an incredible shot. |

| this photo looks strangely familiar. :) the glare from the lighting against the wall is a little distracting, but not overly. |

| Really nice composition - I love the swapping effect. Only thing I would have done differently is balance the yellow on the top left with yellow on the bottom right - but maybe part of the appeal is the asmmetry? |

| Nice shot. There appears to be a strange blur on the left side of the vase, but I guess it's the thickness of the glass. I've got to try one of these shots - looks fun to shoot. |
