I read your 'backstory' and still don't really understand, but that's ok :) The image itself doesn't really speak to me very well. I can't see a story or idea in it myself. From a technical standpoint, anything I could say about it would be primarly preference, but it feels 'stark'. I don't really understand the choice for high contrast on this shot. It appears that the average vote thinks this photo is middle of the road. You can usually interpret this as an image that has no significant flaws, but also doesn't strike the viewer is 'great' in many ways.
Great colors. Minimal in complexity of background as well as complexity of subject: fits the challenge well. Nice sharp image. Creative, original, I like it a lot. Top ten.
cool, wish the right edge of the photo didnt have a grey gradient on it, but otherwise this is a really good shot. i especially like the blue and red to the glass.
blue and red is wonderful, i wouldve used something other then a pencil though... something more along the lines of barware, or something you'd use to accent drinks
I somehow always think of minimalism being more stern than this - not so lighthearted. I don't really know why, possibly because it seems such a cery intellectual philosophy. This is great though - image and title.
I normally don't like harsh, white backgrounds, but here it serves well to show the colored shadow. This is minimalist more in the classic sense than in the contest description sense, but I'm not docking points for that. Excellent color contrasts, and the shadow breaks up the background tedium nicely.
Nice representation of minimalism. I would of only used one colour in the glass or the two colours of the pencil, plus I would of not sharpened the pencil to ensure I had the minimum of colours. 8
