I like the idea on this shot, but for me the problem is the focal point.
With such a tight focus, I would like to see the focus on the base of the glass, or perhaps the opening. Really the base though, as that's where the brightest lighting is. (my two cents)

Beautiful, but would prefer slightly greater dof

the glass seems dirty yellow, the decorations are borring and the picture is not sharp... sorry

very good idea, but just a little out of focus

IMHO the out of focus looks more off than just shallow dof. maybe the light wasn't strong enough to get a wow factor from the glass's decorations.

the color and glow of the light is quite attractive but the image has too shallow of DOF to really come off well

This is a little too close for my taste.. I think I could have appreciated the lighting if it was panned out a tad.. imho

The angle of this feels like the glass is going to fall right off the page. Which is good and bad. Not so great for a technically sound image but kind of cool to give a surreal feeling. Not really an engaging subject and the use of light wasn't played up as much as it could have been. At first I thought the image was out of focus but noticed the focus was actually good in the middle of the glass, probably would have prefered more of it in focus, though a shallow dof is good as I like how out of focus the back of the glass is.
