i like your idea, and hope that you will revisit it after the challenge. as for this entry, i think the execution falls short and is not really doing what you want it to. the focus is a bit soft, and the bokeh is too distracting. actually, you have three background elements competing with each other as opposed to acting in support of your subject. the glass behind the pitcher really needs to go, as do the lights back next to the window, as does the window, for that matter. to get the viewer's attention, you need to reduce the visual clutter that doesn't contribute. it also appears that you could use a bit more liquid in the decanter. hope this helps.
A pleasant layout with great crystal. The yellow-amber spirits add to the merry go round of colors at the base of the vesel. Just a little more distance would have mellowed the bokeh on the left. However, I am splitting hairs, you have accomplished the mission and the composition is great. Bumping up.
I think this a good picture, very nicely done. The only criticism I would make is the very bright light on the left edge of the picture which is distracting. It it could be taken out somehow (9)
