Nice setup however I do think the brightness in the middle is overwhelming the picture as a whole.

Clever idea and good take on the challenge.
I think if the lighting could be a little more even or subdued in the center and just a touch lighter in the outside section (easily done with shadow/highlight tool in PS), this would have much better appeal and overall score/results.
Good luck on this one.

Interesting effect and totally different from everything else in the challenge.

I'm not sure what I think about this. You have made me contemplate, so congrats.

good idea but a litle oversaturate in white. The center took all atemptions, and the botles become second view.
