It seems like you have a thing for jars these days, and this one is really colorful as well, and an original entry into this contest. You have indeed captured the reflections well, and also the fine shine in the glass of the jars. I like very much the bright and neutral background as well.

Your focus is nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details both in the jar and the red beans. I also think the exposure is spot on.

I like the way you have set up the jars and your selective focus, and the photo is nicely cropped. The matte vignette also works well. I think this is a truly great looking and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Great color, good focus on jars/beans and reflection. Like the way the arrangement of the jars gives it depth and how everything blends in with background but is not distracting and yet individual one from the other (jars/reflection/background/mirror). Thanks for sharing.

A very nicely lit still life. The colors are excellent and the reflections are attractive. I might have framed it differently to include the complete reflection of the black ones.
