Critique Club Review:

Focus is good, depth of feild could have been shallower. I keep thinking if the glasses had been isolated from the paper by a shallow depth of field, the attention would be more focused on the glasses, and the lines would seem to come from nowhere.

Good positioning of the glasses and camera to get the lines where you wanted.

Is there really much that hasn't been done before with a camera? The question only becomes have we seen it done before, and how well does this compare? The wheel has been reinvented many times in many places by photographers around the world.

The color comes across as a little dark for my tastes. A bit brighter would more fit a pastel challenge, in my mind.

Congratulations on making the upper half of the class.

these tricks are getting a bit trite and overdone--too commonplace to really be interesting anymore.

Besides seeing images like this numerous times, the colors just appear off for some reason.

the texture of the background is distracting. but other than that it's a good idea
