Greetings from the Critique Club

Good idea!

The combination of red and white is great. It's original and the angle you shot at is also well chosen.

On the down side: It appears a bit tilted, and the light is just a bit harsh.
I think that if you had set this up so there was less red it would have helped.

Either move the glass back towards the background or change the angle. Also if you could create a sloping background to give it more depth and have it appear more seamless that might help too.

Hope this helps.

The white on white hurts a bit. Overall, I like the stark contrast of the red and white.

seems slightly tilted to the left, but a good idea. considering the setting, it might have been nice to eliminate the shadow with a little lighting from the right.

Neat idea. I like the white and red theme. I think flatter lighting would work more effectively - the shadow on the right is ditracting. You want to barely see how the glass is in fron of the background. If the light is coming from on side you can balance it by bouncing it back with a white board on the other side or another light.
