I think the thing that appeals to me most about this image is the color. For some reason, the play of the color through the glass, the liquid and reflected off the...umm thing the glass is on is wonderful. The second most appealing aspect of this image is the symmetry that's occuring throughout the whole image...of course that doesn't need explaining. My only critique would be the fact that the image seems cropped a bit tighter on the right side than on the left. Other than that, this image is simple, elegant and beautiful.
Very classy photo. The colors are fantastic, use of light is wonderful. Crisp focus, good cropping, even the border works well. My only personal negative is the tray its on. I think I might like it better sitting on plain black - or even the bottom portion of the stem and foot disappearing into the black, being rendered invisible. Very dramatic image to my mind. 9
Very warm colors. Really like the (spotlight?) in the back. maybe centre the glass in the middle of the plate (looks off balance). Very effective. Good luck. Jacko. 8
