OK so maybe I made that word up just so I'd have a cool title. A wineglass with bubbles making up the stem, Shot in my lightbox which in turn was inside the Closet of Doom, so I can hang lights directly overhead for a nice strong (I hope) light source, until I can afford some REAL lights!

Critique Club
Hi Susan, I love the thought of critiquing an image that was created in the Closet of Doom!
First impressions
A bright, graphic image.
After some time with the picture
I started to feel a little as though your glass was trapped in a box, the composition gave it no room to wriggle or roll, I felt uncomfortable for it. However the tight crop did fill the image with the circles created by the glass and so it was fulfilling its brief. I puzzled over the dark lines above the glass and wondered if they were folds in a cloth and you'd gone high key to lose them within the basic editing rule. Then I realised the image has gone through 180 degrees and those are shadows on the ground/surface. I think without these the image would float better, but basic editing leaves you a bit stuck on that one!
Overall
A good idea and the high key creates drama and provides a graphic image. The tightness of the composition hurts the image and the rotation with the shadows still evident is disorientating. Keep going with this set up and plenty of experimentation!
