Hi snowleopard10101

This is your critique for Sealing Liquid, taken for the Liquid challenge.

Let me get this out of the way, it fits the challenge in my eyes!

Moving on to the composition: like frisca said, I like the way the clutter seems to indicate an assembly line at a factory. I think presentation is everything though, and since you didn't give me any Photographer's Comments to work on... I'll make assumptions :) I would have prefered to see all the ribbons facing forward for a bit more of a symmetrical feel to the photograph. I would also have liked to see more of the tops of the bottles, to get the "complete" feel that this seems to lack.

While I like the photograph, I think that flash photography on something like glass can easily go wrong. As you can see there's a strange glare from the flash going on there. I think you need some kind of diffuser... Have you tried to perhaps put up different light with a piece of paper to bounce the harshness away? I wish I could help more in this aspect, but you didn't give me more to work on.

Overall, I like the idea of this photograph, but I think you can do so much more :) I can even imagine it. Thank you for submitting it, and good luck on upcoming challenges!

I think I like the basic idea, but this ends up very cluttered and noisy on a colour level. More even rows of bottles, maybe set off slightly each row, might have helped. Alternating colours might have helped; right now they're kind of grouped. Fewer bottles would have been the other choice.

two kinds of liquid (at least!) well done, I like the crowded composition-- gives a factory/assembly line feel.

Very nice colors and I like the cropping of the composition so that you can't see the tops of the bottles which creates a semi-abstract. Lighting may be a bit too harsh but it works here and I do find the lone label in the bottom right to be a little too distracting. But fine capture overall.
