Nice shot. I think the ribbon is distracting and takes away from the surrealism of the photo.

Very intriguing colours and composition. Kind of reminds me of '80s style and design. Did you use Blacklight for the upper part? Perharps a Frame of some kind (tin red line) would've helped to capture this work. I like it. 7

I know this needs something besides the bowl, but the trash next to the glass doesn't work that well.

Its nice idea but that ribbon is real distracting.

A very interesting shot. I would have gotten rid of the messy ribbon and cropped a little tighter.

the wrapping tape unnecessarily diverts the eye from the glass...
