Old jar, hu? If I remember correctly, Ball, now called Ball Aerospace, made the Hubble Telescope...
As far as the photo goes: I really like it. Only nitpick, I think it needs to be rotated CCW |

| I gave it a 5, because it's a table shot, but it lacks in composition. Could have had a bit more contrast too. |

| This is the fourth time this image has been viewed and it still offers a rather vague and ambigous impression. After thinking about it for a few minutes and closely examining the features and technique used, the answer appeared. The problem lies with the sugar in the clear jar. Ball jars have been considered as objects 'd art for many, many years and this image does not do them justice. While technicaly acceptable, the artistic impression is flat and totally uninteresting. One suggestion might have been to do a color image and use lighting gels (actually any clear colored plastic with a portable light source) to enhance and create some reflection and inject some color into the jar to make it stand out against the white of the sugar. This would also have helped the adjacent jar stand out beause it has the same problem only different because it's empty. The composition and positioning of the jars is fine and effective - it just needs some help to increase interest and artistic impact. |
