Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)
Composition/Lighting : I believe you chose the perfect composition for this, this is the perfect way to show off such beautiful glass. it is centrally framed, which strongly brings the eye to the subject, especially w/ the background you chose. well done. now, the sharpness. with something that has nothing to focus on but one piece of "eyecandy" if you will, it should definitely be as sharp as possible. having a more powerful backlit setup or even underneath lighting would have given you more lighting i believe.
Challenge : This was a tough challenge, with some great competition. overall i believe you did well. w/ just a few tweaks in your lighting, it would make this a better picture. w/ as beautiful as a figure as you have here, i would definitely reshoot and try as many different lighting angles as you can until you find that one golden one, maybe mess around w/ some different color backgrounds. find the one that sings to you.
Conclusion : This is really a great image. Great job. you should be proud of this, and the potential it has. there were some really great comments left for you by other members, so take these all in consideration, and along w/ your already great photography skills you will continue to get better.
Keep on shootin!
Good luck on your future challenges:)

| Backlighting is the (almost) only lighting for glass. This is so blurry though that the effect is completely dulled. |

| I think you should pull back on the composition a little bit and maybe get the entire object in frame. The bottom isn't so bad, but the top of the peacock on the edge of the frame creates a lot of visual tension for me. |

| This type of subject needs absolute sharpness, you're a little blurry here. |

| focus needs to be sharper, and maybe shoot from a different angle than profile. Would have been nice to see some light refractions off the glass. |

| I like the photo, but my one problem is that I can't really tell where the focus is. I would have given it a higher rating otherwise. |

| a little flat, IMHO. There is no ultimate white.....a bit more contrast? |
