CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE

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. |

| 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. |
