| Seems to be abit out of focus. Perhaps moving the shot a bit further away from the window would help. |

| Cute idea although I had no idea that frogs drank! I am assuming that the frogs are the focal point and to me, they are not the centered part of your composition. They are centered at the bottom, but not of the whole pic. And on my screen, it looks a tad out of focus. |

Let me start out with the positives. First, I like the choice in going with backlighting and the second light source is also in a good spot. The composition is centered well and you chose a good angle for your point of view.
The main thing you need to improve here is controlling the lighting and focusing. Closing the curtains in the background would help diffuse the light making it less harsh as well as making the background less cluttered. The focus also appears to be off (unintentionally) so I'd try to work on getting a wider DOF with the lens you are using (i.e. smaller aperture). I think if you do just that you'll improve this shot greatly. In post, you may want to sharpen this a bit using whatever software you have available.
Some other things you may want to try is moving the glasses away from the bottle. I assume this is champagne? If so I'd try and see how I can make the bubbles more interesting. If the glass is away from the bottle and the background uniform I think that would make the bubbles stand out more as well as maybe having a dedicated light source just for that glass position somwhere off to the side or from behind. |

| Fits the challenge but the picture is not in focus and it's a bit over exposed. |

| Not to offend but I rated this down as the entire image seems to be out of focus. |

| 3 this photo is lacking in focus, composition, point of interest... Not good at all... Anyway, good luck. |

| I really can't determine where the focus is (or is supposed to be) - nothing looks sharp at all. |

| Hmmm ... nothing important at the center, and everything seems pretty soft. |

| Cute idea! Unfortunately this image is not very focused. |

| Feel there's no real focal point on the image, and the main elements are all out of focus. A nice idea other wise though. 5. |

| lots of distracting elements here ... the blown highlights outside ... the curtains, window frame ... also not very sharp ... |

| Might be my screen, or my eyes, that the out-pf-focus foreground frogs detract from the main subject. How would this look with a shallow depth of field, bringing thehearts & bottle into focus and the background window softly blurred? |
