Creative "capture" of air. Personally, not really digging the candle.

+1 for being brave enough to try that border.

Of all "4 glasses" takes on 4 elements this one is the best. Apart from using perspective rather than face on I absolutely love the depiction of air! :)

Nice idea and well produced,hope it does good.

The upside-down glass might just get this the top mark in the elelments-in-wine-glass sub-challenge

I think your border is way too big. The area of the border seems to be almost as large as the photo itself. everything also seems to be out of balance. sorry, I really don't like this.

There were several wine glass entries, but the air element in this stands out. Very creative.

Not bad. I like the way the background is lit, though it would be nice if the "earth" glass were a little brighter. Still, the highlights are controlled nicely. The angled positioning is a nice touch, but I feel like the spacing is just a tad off--the right three seem more tightly grouped than the left one. Finally, I think that it would be good if the red candle popped a little more--the rest of the image is very close to monochrome, so the one use of color should make more of a splash.

This is a very dull photo it would be better if the colours were brighter.

Slightly different from two other images using this approach. This has the most dynamic layout, and the inverted glass is a clever choice (to trap the air :-)

I also like the edgeless bg, and the terrific, oblique lighting. But there is something a bit off on the color - the whole image seems a bit dull, lacking some sort of crispness and zing.

nice goof on the border freaks here!

I understand what you were trying to do with the 3rd glass containing air...but feel like the reversed orientation of the glass disturbs the flow of the picture. Right side up and this would've had much more impact.

A really nice take on the challenge nonetheless!

There is a few of these but some are done better than others. Like the setup on this one Border is a bit much though
