 These tiny cordial snifters were the only thing I inherited from my Grandmother when she died in May. I love the colors and the etching on them and remember playing with them when I was a child.

The only adjustments made were curves and contrast.

this is a good effort and shows good control of your depth of field, but it feels kind of cluttered to me. perhaps without the pattern on the glass it would allow this image to be less cluttered and smoother. 5.

There seems to be an odd tilt to the image. I do like that you have included color in your shot. At first glance it is hard to figure out what these are, but once you realize they are glasses you can appreciate the soft lighting with interesting curves. Your choice of a shallow DOF may have been better suited for a better lit image, with the combination of both dark light and shallow DOF you make it much more difficult for the voter to figure out your scene. Another thing to think about is the human element. A still life like this, with the components you have here lacks a human touch. There is nothing to draw in the viewer to have a longer more intimate look. Your tight cropping athe bottom and right side also leave the image feeling off balanced. I am now working at bringing a less cold view to my work so that the viewer feels more a part of my work. Still, you got an 8 from me. Nice work. -danny

The lighting makes each of these objects glow by themselves it seems. Depth of field works, but title implies that all are important, so maybe experiment with all being in focus? Nice work, nonetheless.

Like the use of aperture and colors. Nice pic.

when I set my monitor for most to work yours seems just a little to dark, but when I bring up just a tad yours is one of the best! I know this challenge is going to be tough for some of us but I bet this shot is going to fair well. good luck...a Nine!
