The Gin should have been rotated slightly to reduce glare, otherwise, nice composition.

This would be better if the label on the bottle wasn't washed out. That was done by your attached flash. It's a guarantee of flare.

Lighting is way too harsh for this still life, spoils what could be an decent shot. 3

Horizon is very tilted. It looks out of focus (note the blurriness of the label). There are a lot of hot spots from flash (in the glass, in the lower edge of the bottle and it's reflection,in the neck of the bottle, in the lower edge of the ashtray and inside the ashtray). I'm guessing this was taken using just a flash. This would account for the flat lighting and all the glare.

I like it but would like to have seen it not cropped so tightly...IMO

The subject is significantly tilted. There is some overexposure on the bottle - looks like you used flash. I like the uncluttered background keeping your attention where it should be.

I like the curve of the smoke very much. The overall composition is a little bland for me - a tighter crop, less glare from the flash would have helped (but I understand lighting smoke is pretty tough). The look of the photo now gives a sense of these habits as unappealing, which works well for the challenge - they're something that you do, but after a while you must do but not necessarily take the same enjoyment from anymore.

The icy blue a very nice contrast. I would like to see this shot with a crisp, clear glass of "vodka", sharper focus and straightened. Black a good choice for background.

Lighting is a tad harsh. Cheers anyway!
