We were visiting friends and I saw these glasses in a cupboard with glass doors on both sides. I took a bunch of photos and selected this one as my favorite. Using PS CS2 I cropped the image, cloned out some artifacts to simplify the design and sharpened it.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Aesthetic:Beautiful capture. The smooth edges and crisp focus makes this image great. It has almost zen like style - minimalistic. The touch of blue actually adds the punch.

Technical:Well exposed, good contrast, crisp focus. Period.

Challenge:Anything would fit into this challenge theme, so no comments :)

Conclusion:Overall a good compostion. I liked the simplicity of the photo but I feel its a bit "busy" due to lots of things to focus on. Maybe a tighter crop could help. Somehow I feel this should have scored more. I did not voted for this challenge but would have given something between 6-7 on this one.

I'm by no means expert in area of photography. My comments are purely based on my limited understanding of technology and art behind digital photography. Apart from doing detailed evaluation of your submission, my intent is to learn different styles of photography by critically evaluating selective submissions. If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via email or PM.

Wish you a great day!

I really like the blue, I'd like to see more of that and the glasses and less of the dark areas all around the photo.
