Clear shot. Would like to have seen the whole reflection.

An unbalanced composition. The photo is divided into quadrants, with the only substantial object occupying the upper left. The box is less a puzzle than an arrangement of product labels, and the photo itself entirely reliant upon the title for any sort of substance or meaning. Shallow dof to bring the ashtray into the composition is a nice consideration, but doesn't really add anything to the shot. The lower right corner is dying for something to occupy the space and anchor the shot.

This hurts my eyes a little, there's so much going on. I think I'd like it better without the ashtray and busy reflection/background. I imagine that this would pop really well against a simple black background and a sharp, clean reflection.
