We were visiting friends and I saw these glasses in a cupboard with glass doors on both sides. I took a bunch of photos and selected this one as my favorite. Using PS CS2 I cropped the image, cloned out some artifacts to simplify the design and sharpened it.

Aesthetic:Beautiful capture. The smooth edges and crisp focus makes this image great. It has almost zen like style - minimalistic. The touch of blue actually adds the punch.
Technical:Well exposed, good contrast, crisp focus. Period.
Challenge:Anything would fit into this challenge theme, so no comments :)
Conclusion:Overall a good compostion. I liked the simplicity of the photo but I feel its a bit "busy" due to lots of things to focus on. Maybe a tighter crop could help. Somehow I feel this should have scored more. I did not voted for this challenge but would have given something between 6-7 on this one.
