i was just going through my statistically favorite photographs and found this picture. I was the one who gave you a 10. Never thought it would score so low in the long run...figures. But hey...my liquid submission scored lower! :)
Took me a second to realize what I was looking at - I don't think you have enough light here and your shadows fall in strange places - what about lighting this from above, and diffusing the light? Good composition.
Maybe a touch on the dark side. The bit of black in the bottom corner I presume is the edge of something; it might have been better without that visible. Otherwise the framing is good. It's also overall pretty in a slightly abstract way, the mix of colours is nice.
Clever idea, not sure about the lighting used though, there are a couple shadows that interfere with the colored rim. Other than that, this is a very nice take on the challenge = )
Oh, liquid soap: took me a moment. couple of problems: light hitting the background seems accidental, and that edge of the cloth or whatever on the right. Light's intriguing though - I guess a small lamp ad a window to get those two colours (it'd be less of a guess if I couldn't see the refelction of the window.
