Nice abstract. I normally don't care much for abstracts but this one is rather nice. I like the off centered perspective.

I've seen these glasses before, they are kind of fun. I'm not a fan of abstract, but the ripples of the glass make an interesting texture with the colors. I'm not sure you needed to be so exact with your title, though, something as simple as 'glitter' would have worked well and helped with the feeling of abstract. I like that the bottom of the glass is not dead center, too.

Nice colours. One thing I would have done with this shot was pick a glass without a flat bottom, so that the glitter on the bottom would be ripply too.

the kaleidoscope effect really works...and interesting response to the challenge
the blur of the right, while it gives motion is a bit distracting to me

I like both the idea and the overwhelming usage of colors. Well done!

Hi from the Critique Club --

The patterns and textures in this shot are just wonderful. I love the way the lines are all perpendicular, but don't interfere with each other. Very well composed and executed.

My only suggestion to help this out would be to try to bounce your lighting off of a white (or other semi-reflective surface) in order to minimize the glare. There's a large hot spot right in the center of the frame, and a couple of other shiny areas throughout. Bouncing light onto the subjects would result in fewer glares and more even lighting throughout.

Congrats on an excellent score and a great image.
