| Alright your picture would never make it to the editors table to even think about a page in or on the cover of a magazine unless it was about bad photography! Your image is very blurry you have to many things in your photograph that cause problems. There is no dynamic angle to follow with your eye since there is so much stuff. The lighting forget it about it. The reflections is the least of your problem and a softer light you need more light its a completely flat and dull image you need light boxes and a tent for this image. Good luck! |

| IThe photo looks a little bit out of focus - might be my screen. However, I like the composition and the contrasting colors. |

| Nice composition of the subject elements... But the background is, well, empty. You should have put something colorfull behind it. And I don't think the soft focus works here. There should be something that's in perfect focus. Lighting is a little weak. |

| Nice composition, but a few things let this down. The picture must be sharp and in focus! The reflections on the bottle and glasses are distracting. The lighting needs to be much softer, the shadows look unintentional and too sharp. There are burnt out highlights on your candles. It's a shame about the marks on your background. Your tablecloth doesn't quite work for me, as it looks like you've gone for a symmetrical composition but not quite managed it. I would have taken this shot with the wine and cheese taking up more of the shot. Basicallly lighting is everything in a shot like this, and it looks like you haven't thought about it enough. Have you tried with several lamps, most or all of them diffused in one way or another? A tripod is a must as well. If your camera allows it, extend your dof. |

| I really like the way you've set up this still life. However, the picture itself would be better if the focus were improved and the lighting. The angle of the lighting is unflattering to the subject and casts unflattering shadows in the picture. |

Great composition but a little unsharp, smaller aperature would improve this.
the lighting is pretty good. |

| The wine bottle and glasses should be the center of attention for a wine magazine but in this image they are out of focus. |

| I love how repetative this is without being overly so... the green from the bottle to the grapes, 2 glasses, 3 candles. Really well composed. |

| Very out of focus. It might have been intended, but it does not seem to work here. |

One of the best composites I've seen in this challenge, with excellent space for a magazine title, but it could be more in focus? Seems a bit blurry on my screen.

| nice concept! I think if the background was a solid color, it would bring the compostion together,also focus could be better |

| Good composition, but I don't like the soft focus and far too much 'dead' space above |

| Well made magazine cover. You have even made space for the logo at the top. Good colour-combination. |
