Meets Challenge: 1/1
Lighting: 1/2
Focus: 0/2
Creativity: 0/2
Aesthetics: 0/3
Explanation: When I rate an image that is below 3, I will offer an explanation.
Lighting: The lighting is okay in concept. However, the image looks as though it was too dark in the original, so the exposure was cranked up in photoshop, resulting in muggy colours.
Focus: The entire image is a little blurred. A faster shutterspeed and some more light would help.
Creativity: It's just a bead, slightly off center and is overall unintersting. A photo like this can be quite nice if it meets all technical aspects perfectly. Perfect lighting, focus and framing can definately take a simple object and make it interesting.
Aesthetics: All of the above points, mostly the graininess, muggy colours, high saturation to the point of colour bleeding etc. make the image unappealing. Many product photos are faced with taking a simple object, and making it stunning. Photography can do this. It looks as if this was a crop of a large image not focused on this item in particular. If that's the case, try a lower iso (50 or 100). Also, external lighting can be helpful in closeups even at moody natural scenes with a sunset. Put a gel over a studio light, or even a lamp, that matches the main colour of the natural light. Bounce the light off of a white card and you can get some more light in your image without washing out the colours. |

| Some more sharpness of the subject would make this a better shot for me. |

| The nice soft background tones blend well with the red of the holder and the turquoise of the glass. It could probably stand a touch of NeatImage, but I don't mind the color noise myself - I kinda like it in this shot. |

| Neat idea and the sun reflecting off the metal part adds to it. In my opinion, removing the noise and sharpening (if possible without adding much noise) would improve it. |

| A lot of noise, for a good image of glass. |

| There's an annoying amount of saturation in the background and what appears to be CA on the wire (it's red on the left and blue on the right). |
