The unusual set up, makes this still life interesting. The different size and shapes of the bottles are Intriguing. Apparently the bottles are displayed in a crate of raw wood. The photo is well focused. The bottles are sharp and the texture of the wood shows. The photo is tilting to the left which is distracting. Try to straiten it. It straitening brings the bottles to close to the right border, a crop on the left might help. The crop would not make the tilt disappear, but I think would make the tilt less poignant.

A fairly good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable look at your "empties". Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

Very good and original idea for a still life, and I especially like the simplicity With the limited color pallet. I also like the random placement of the bottles, making this looks like it was how you found them. Looks like this was taken in Greece, because of the labels of the bottles.

The photo is Nice and Sharp showing such Clear and well defined details in the bottles. I also think the exposure is Perfect.

The cropping is working really well and With the placement of the bottles within the frame, it is a fine Balance in the composition. A truly great looking and well taken photo With a very good DOF, and I wish you Luck With the contest.

    You are more than welcome. It was only when I saw the labels I knew who was behind the photo. LOL

I like the monochromatic palette in this still life. The pale cream colors are symbolic of emptiness as are the empty bottles. The sand in the fallen bottle could be symbolic of time and the capped lid would make it time gone by. I like the light reflections on the glass.

A nicely composed still life. The bottles have great labels and are shown in excellent detail. I might have moved them away from the background though.

Interesting still life. I like the three bottles and the way you placed them here with the one on left on its side, I can see beach sand inside of it, I like the taller one in the middle. This is well focused , the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones are natural. Well composed against the horizontal board background. Well presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!
