Actually, flash was not used - only natural sunlight coming in from a window - and had this been an advanced editing challenge I would have taken care of that highlight. Trivial matters aside, thank you for taking the time to critique, I appreciate it very much. |

Greetings from the Critique Club
Having studied your entry for Delicate Challenge, I feel that a lighter weight glass would have conveyed the delicate impression more suitably. The chosen tumbler is a bit on the heavyweight side and this is accentuated by your choice of angle, looking onto the rim. Perhaps a different angle would have given the impression of a more delicate glass.
The use of on camera flash has blown an area at the base of the glass, but this is not too intrusive.
The conversion to B&W works well with the reflections of the light through the glass onto the wood. This had an added effect of highlighting the grain, although I don't know if this was intended or accidental, but it looks fine. Focus on the rim is sharp and you have a pretty good DOF.
I would like to have seen the droplets feature more prominently in this photo, but the composition is good with the main subject situated to the right of the photo. I think this scored about right in the challenge and had the glass been more 'delicate', it could have upped the score to 5+. Nevertheless, a good entry and although lower than your usual scores, not too bad considering the low voting in this challenge. Hope this is helpful and constructive for you.

| the glass itself does not seem very delicate to me, seems if I dropped it on the floor it would be just fine (thick glass) - perhaps a wine glass would have portrayed the delicate sense a bit better - I may be missing the meaning of this though - and I do really like the lighting and black & white :) |
