Greetings from the critique club.
First thing that stands out is the border to me. Fromt he comments it seems kind of hit or miss on people liking it. For me I don't think I would have used it in the challenge. I really like it overall and think it works very well for the image at ahnd hoever with the size restaints here it ends up taking too much of the total photo. you can always approach things here two ways. go for score or show off your art. sometimes you can get both and sometimes not. for this you would know that the border will get you some low votes but it may be important enought for you to show it regardless of low votes( I think this was the best choice)
on to the photo. some things I love about it. first I love the overall feel of it. the texture of the mat is great and I really like the Black and white conversion. The shadow is very nice and judging from your settings there was some pretty strong light and you did a great job of toning it down.
I don't like the blurs (other glasses?) in the foreground and if this was set up I would have removed them. of course without seeing it that way I may be wrong:) I think a deeper DOF on the glass would have been nice as well.
In the end who can argue with a decent score and 4 favorites. Great shot. Let me know if you ahve any questions.

| I'm trying to think of what could be in the foreground causing the blur. I think the glass is a little high but I like the artsy thing going on...8 |

| Nice rich texture against smooth glass. This challenge has been hard to vote on since, IMO, many of the entries have no overt visual acknowledgement of the rule of thirds. Maybe, it's my eye that is out. At least I think the placement of the glass in your photo does comply.... 8. |

| Real lovely b&w...like the DOF and detail of surface. Just noticed that there are some more glass in front...maybe a little distracting. |

| Can I have a little photograph with this border? |

| The border on this shot is a little excessive. The B&W really works with this shot. |

| The border is a little overwhelming |

| This picture is very intruiging. It's almost like I want to go deeper within the photo and find out about the life of the shot glass. Where did it come from? Is it sad?? :) In a strange way, this picture just seems to extract emotion from me. And the texture of the table is very cool. I also like the B&W. |
