Greetings from the Critique Club!

I think this is a very sweet photo. Glasses of course are quite fragile, as are bubbles, so a good combo of the two. The settings are fine for this shot.

However, dpc voters tend to dislike glare, and there really isn't much compostion. Image has a snapshot feel to it, which is why you have no comments (albeit a critique, now, and that you finished so low. Mind, you did get 3 10s.

I empathize because I can see what you wanted to do with this shot, and given the nature of the challenge that can be quite tough to do. My advice, as always: keep shooting. That really is the only way to improve. Second piece of advice: feel free to look at the early stuff I shot 3 years ago, when I first joined the site with a crappy little p&s. They'll not only make you feel better and hopefully encourage you to keep trying :-)

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

Clear and sharp, but it's not coming off to well other than that, I'm afraid. The extremely centered horizon doesn't help to lead my eye around the frame and there is not any particular element that says "look here".

Comment by MinsoPhoto:
For me I am not a fan, it just seems a bit bland with no real place to focus on.

*** adding that I think this would be better with a landscape orientation. You do have excellent focus, dof and colors though so I am increasing my original score.

Nice colors, the sings on the left are bit distracting..5.

I just can't decide but I just can't shake the feeling that the horizon got a bit tilted .

I think this shot have used a different angle or a different crop - its the street signs on the left that bother me.

Comment by Nuzzer:
Too much sky puts the horizon in the centre of frame, more attention on the cracks in the road would be good

I think this photo is a bit too literal an interpretation of the challenge. You have the street shown and for composition it has some leading lines in it but it really doesn't lead you to anything.
