*Greetings From the Critique Club*

Congratulations on your highest rated shot! I must also add that you are a great addition to team DSC-P72. I also have this camera, also happen to be 18, and I also happen to live in the Northwest (Meridian, ID). I must say that I have enjoyed looking at your work and I think you have done a marvelous job thus far. ;)

Composition:
I LOVE the composition here, very unique and creative. The reflection is crystal clear and it works extremely well. As mentioned earlier by karmat, this is indeed a unique thing to see on a tea-pot. It adds a lot of flavor to something that is indeed...well...dull. Very nicely done. There is one thing however, though, that I feel could have made this shot a whole lot stronger than it is (and I also believe this was mentioned before) that the entire form of the tea-pot should be seen. Because without the title, I wouldn't have guessed it was a tea-pot, I also thought that it was rear view mirror of some sorts. That's all I would really do to fix the composition, because it alerady is a dynamic composition.

Focus and Clarity:,
Excellent DOF! I bleive this area is SPOT on! Nice work!

Other Thoughts:
Again, very nicely done! I commend your creativeness and look forward to seeing some of you future work. I think it would be really neat if you and I could dominate the highest rated shots in the DSC-P72 camera.

Nice concept and a great capture! I wish I could tell a little more that it actually is a teapot. My first reaction was that is a Side mirror for a motorcycle. Still a nice shot and great work.

Not wholly convinced about this one. Certainly meets the challenge perfectly - but something in the composition, perhaps just that you've excluded so much of the actual form of the tea-pot, takes away from it - perhaps without the tilt it would be more immediately familiar, or perhaps with a slightly less narrow aspect ratio. Good balance of shapes and forms I think, but that one thing lets it down a touch.
