I am trying to catch up on commenting, and would have loved to have given this image a higher score. I like the colors and the composition; however, there is a problem with the focus. The image is very soft, especially on the right side, and there is a great deal of noise in the background. There also seems to be some pixelation around the edges, so I'm guessing it was either taken in low light or is a very, very tight crop of a much larger image.
For this contest everyone who has the word “circle” in their title is getting a max 10 score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I upgrade to 10 due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge need to be reminded of the topic of the challenge – we really need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will give a 10. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of voting – but scores are all I have.

If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest – but scores are all I have.
I don't think the angle is particularly appealing in this shot, It has a skewed look to it. Compositionally from this perspective, I think it would have been stronger if you arrainged the glassed diagonally using the "thirds".
