*Critique Club*
In response to your request for an in depth critique, due to the lack of photogrpaher's comments, I can only offer my critique based on my own personal opinion alone, since I do not know what your personal intentions were for this photograph.
I see you didn't receive any comments during voting, so I hope my comment here will be able to help you out in some way.
Technically, the photo is quite good. Good focus, good DOF, good color.
So why did it score in the lower percent? I think first off, there was a lot of tough competition in this challenge. Lots of photos that just say 'wow'.
Which leads me to this photo. It's lacking something to push it over the edge from being a good shot, to something that is 'wow'.
The crop, in my opinion is too tight. Back it up a bit. Give the subject a little room to breathe.
The background works well, dark background with nothing distracting there.
I like the angle at which you chose to photograph the subject. It does create some nice depth and lets our eyes flow nicely through the photo.
I'm wondering what this would look like with even more of an angle. Were there more bottles? Could you have made the bottles just dissappear into the background? That could have been interesting as well.
Overall well done, but lacking wow factor.
