Well done on the Football result - Portugal 2 - Iran 0

You have some great photographs in your portfolio, choosing one was very difficult to do.

Technically the photograph appears to me to be very good, although I must say that I'm no expert when it comes to studio lighting and such. It has a very clean and fresh feel to it, like something that you might see in a glossy cuisine magazine or holiday brochere. Professional is the term I think I'm looking for :)

The composition of the image works really well and is very pleasing to the eye. The use of the rose and the general setup makes the photograph very elegent. The crop job appears to be good also. I'm not one of those who feels EVERYTHING has to be cropped perfectly within the frame. I didn't vote for this challenge, but it would easily have gotten a 7 or 8 from me.

Overall, you've taken an excellent photograph, Good job :)

My first impressions are: it's a little dark, the pitcher is a bit too out of focus, and I'm not sure how I feel about the martini glass having been cropped the way it was. In spite of all this, I do like the image. :)
