I thought they were playing pool!

The result is a bit flat. Probably needed better lighting, background, and pov. Good idea to catch the smoke.

:/. There must be a pun here. Why don't I see it?

I would guess someone of college age, where you're old enough to legally drink and want to try new things. Use of camera-mounted flash and comp that needs some work points to a likely newbie.

not very creative in my mind. the photo lacks focusing subject, it's all chaos, which does not carry the image.

Awww! My hubby is a miller driver!! Down with the bud! Just kidding! I like the idea but I would have cropped a little close to avoid the lines on the side.

The lighting in this is really harsh - and the intense shadows behind the incense gives it away as a flash. The background doesn't fill the frame and the wood that funs along the bottom is distracting. I think if we could see the bottles better it would be better too.

Good idea, but needs to be larger and sharper. Also, the lighting is pretty harsh. Did you use a flash? Try diffusing it with a tissue or piece of white paper.

Harsh flash is a problem for this shot, and you should always use the maximum pixel size on at least one side. At 95k in size, you could have used less compression as well, though I don't see any obvious compression artifacts.
