Didn't vote on this challenge, or rather not on all of it - but I still think you were a little hard done by here: in terms of quality this should have been a medal-winner, but people like the contrasts and tricks. Unlucky
Wonderful colours! The quality of light, both on the object and on the background, is wonderful - on the background it gives the effect of a painting, on the object it really brings out the character of the glass. Love the green within the inner tube. Composition also works well for me. Top right corner a little too dark in my opinion.

The detail and color combinations are what made me like this image immediately. A slight increase in aperture would have brought the whole subject in focus - 9.
both good and bad use of DOF in my opinion.... works well on the background.... but detracts from the image with the loss of focus in the foreground... i would perhaps have rotated the bottle to get the entire thing in focus.... of course that may not have been possible.... overall I like it... just a little distracting that bit in the foreground.... good luck Todd.
