Nice idea and I like the way it looks like it punced a hole in the metal but it just doesn't hold my attention very long.

Compositionally, I love the crop of this. The offset angle adds interest and dynamics to the shot and draws the viewer in. It is also infinitely more interesting than just a straight shot of a wine glass with a bubbly beverage in it.

Technically, this shot screams for sharp focus throughout. At first glance, I thought the bubbles were also out of focus, but upon closer looks, it may just be a reflection of sorts that keeps them from looking "clear." In a shot like this, where there is simply light and dark, the eye is going to be drawn to the light area, and I think that is why it needs a stronger focus on the stem and bottom of the glass. If you wanted more emphasis on the beverage, perhaps a bit more space around the top would help to pull the eyes back up.

Overall, I think this is an interesting image. I also think playing with the colors and hues to make this a straight black and white image (it seems to have a slight blue cast to it right now) would also be interesting.

best wishes in future challenges.

Nice picture. The Bottom of the glass is a bit distraction from the bubbles, maybe the placement in the picture.

Good concept. I like the angle and opposing, graphic like treatment of colors. A bit more focus and crispness and I would have scored it higher.

Could have been a great picture,,, a little too dark for my taste though

The bubbles and the liquid turned out very nicely. But my eye is drawn to the brightly lit stem, rather than the subject area.

Unusual angle and crop. It really feels a bit awkward to me, and there isn't enough in focus to hold my attention very long.

Neat idea and very interesting composition. It does seem a little more out of focus than maybe was intended.

Visually interesting photo with the contrast and negative space. Not sure how this (a prison cell) is obsolete, however...especially with our world events.

Very bright the and distracting the light from outside. It certainly creates a nice atmosphere and contrast.
