 Not that most of you will care or anything, but here is how I got this shot.
The shoot: 3 glass bottles, 1 blue, 2 green, arranged on a white piece of cardboard. Picture taken in a dark room, the light source being a small LED flashlight pointed at them.

Editing:
Resized
Unsharp mask
Note: I did NOT crop this, this is how far of a range I got on this ridiculously cheap camera which doesn't zoom out.

This is also the same closet that my last picture was taken, so I hope that I made up for its failure this time. :)

Composition is weak. The photo quality is poor. I'm not seeing what you're trying to say with this photo.

great idea, I really wish it was a sharper focus on the bottles though

This whole shot feels a little out of focus and I'm not sure about the angle you are taking it from.

I like the idea here with the use of colours in the shadows.
I dont know what ISO you shot this on but I think for this kind of lighting I would use a tripod, as low an ISO as you can get to avoid the noise, a highish F number for depth of field and a long exposure time.
Also a piece of white card or paper curved against the wall so that we don't see the line where the wall meets the floor.
I sound really critical here for which I apologise but I hope it helps.
