Hi from the Critique Club!
Technically speaking you have done a fine job with this photo. Nice DOF especially and the exposure is real clean. I don't see anything too over or too over exposed. I bet your histogram is happy (hehe camera jokes) I do notice a little loss of quality/clarity on the table portion that is in focus. Not sure what caused it, maybe the camera, maybe not, not something I would expect at ISO 100 in the daytime.
The object placement is nice and interesting enough for me to enjoy the photgraph, but for "Magic and Mystery" one would expect something a little darker and a little more mysterious to bump the votes a bit. Maybe some swirling dye in the bottles but I understand something like that may be out of the question if you don't want to wreck the capping on your bottles.
But like I said, I like this photo and I think you are on the right track, but it my not have been Magical or Mysterious enough for the voters.
Good job overall!

| I think it would be better the the liquids weren't clear. |

| NIce use of DOF. Subject may not be strong enough to push your score past a 6 but nice shot nevertheless. Would be a bit more challenge appropriate if there was a little color to the liquid. JMHO. |

| Maybe with a spark, fire, flash, or something of magic. 8 |

| This strikes me as a still life, and a decent one at that. But not mysterious or magical without the title. Maybe if there were some color swirling in it, or if it were open and smoke were bubbling out? 4. |

| I don't think the OOF bottle in the background adds anything to your picture. I'd want to see them both up front and in focus. |

| Hmm, a neat idea. The flask looks exotic enough. Could we have colored it somehow to add something? The choice of surface wasn't the best. I don't like the glare. 5 |

| Its really great idea...nice composition. Just would expect a bit that potion would be in more mysterious color ;). |

| Nice idea, perhaps could have colored the liquid in the volumetric to appease the cliche hounds. |
