Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: This one is very hard to critique in the normal sense of a photograph critique. Nothing is very focused outside the glass, but I am sure that it was the effect that you intended when you captured the image. I cannot tell you that I think it is wrong, it's jut very difficult to offer any suggestions.

Lighting: I like the lighting. It adds to the overall feel of the image, and works very nicely with the scene you captured.

Composition/Content: You created a very interesting feel in this capture, but not one that many voters identified with.

My Opinion: I like it in one sense, but I don't think that I would have scored it very highly. It is often difficult to merge the photographs that we like to take with the photographs that we enter into challenges here. I am assuming that by entering it, you wanted to score highly with it. That is where the balance and compromise comes into play. Voters here like vivid colors, nice composition, and super-crisp images. For a challenge entry, this one really had none of those elements. For a collection, this one would work nicely.

OK shot, the "feel" of which I really like. A total-silhoutte of the person might have made for a stronger image, though.

cool concept, but needs a bit more refining. nothing is in focus but the cup, which by your title & movement suggests it should not be the main subject. The lens flare is cool, but, again, detracts from the "smoke"...coloring is ver nice

Very nice. Intimate. It's kind of got a Nan Goldin quality to it.

Sorry, not my kind of shot at all. It looks more like a snapshot
