 I'm very pleased with this and that makes me nervous because whenever I get excited with the results, a lot of people usually don't like it lol.

There are a few things I would have changed if I had the time to do it. But I don't have the time, so here we go...

Edit to add during the challenge (because I can do this now - wheeee!): my fave thing about this was the background lol. And no one likes it. The scene I had in my head was of a restaurant with a nice tablecloth (which I messed up with not straightening it) and the rustic stone background. Maybe if I had toned down the wall a bit this would have done better.

It's only a small detail. I had to work hard to come up with something I didn't like about this photo.

I love the arrangement of the still life, with the smaller glasses in the back and that simple addition of the grapes in just the right place. I find the stone background distracting and the horizontal line across the center breaks up the flow of the image. I think you did a very nice job of lighting the glasses to bring out the detail of the cut design.

What's the matter woman...not got an iron? Well, I, for one could not see the glasses at all for that crease in the table cloth!

It must be glassware and I'd certainly know that if I were looking at a catalog. The rims of glasses are especially tough but you've done a nice job with it: 9

I love this photo. Nice work. This is a small detail, but ironing the table cloth would smooth out the background some and eliminate a line that draws the eyes attention away from the focal point

The wine glasses and grapes look very nice but your background is too distracting.

I feel the stone background draws attention from the beautiful crystal. I feel a simpler background would have drawn more attention to your product.

Pretty shot, though I think the rough brickwork at the back detracts a little from the crisp fine lines of the glasses. Maybe a plain background would highlight those details more.

The classic touch is nice, not sure about that background though.

Love the glasses and layout, the background (rocks) don't do anything for this shot
