Greetings from the Critique Club
Initial thoughts/My opinion
Nice looking antique ceramics, a bit soft/unsharp and the selection of background and light is not too well.
Content/Composition
The two bottles are really nice and fit well to the challenge topic. Also how you placed them and cropped the image is OK.
The main issue of improvement is regarding the background and the light. I would have chosen a darker one to better contrast the not too dark ceramics. Maybe also with some shadows on the ground and the background.
Speaking of shadow I want to address the light: it is set rather flat. The light is set very homogeneous and the objects are well exposed everywhere. However, this style would be more appropriate for an archaeological journal or catalogue: it's rather clinical without too much atmosphere. For instance some soft light from the right would have produced some shadows and thus more depth.
Camera work -technically
Focus is OK, but the DOF seems a bit narrow: the ceramic in the back is less sharp. White balance and exposure are fine.
Digital Processing - Technical
A bit more sharpening would be fine, also border.
Fits the challenge
Yes, it fits well, could envision it in an archaeological article.
Good luck for your upcoming submissions

| Seems that they could be a little sharper...little soft. Nice shot though and neat objects. |

Needs some more creative lighting. This looks very flat...

| as I ahve said on all the other artifact shots, a bit more thought with the background would do wonders - perhaps an old stone wall or something wooden? |

| Fits the challenge, though the subject isn't the most interesting. The coloring is very odd too. |

| The white background is too sterile for my taste. |
