You did an impressive job in this photo. I like the way you cropped the picture, and how the the direction and level of lighting gives a sense of calmness and peace. Moreover, seeing the water hang in the cup is satisfying and interesting to see.
This is a very interesting photo. The lowkey lighting gives an ominous mood while the glass full of water is highlighted in the center of the frame. The floor included in the frame really helps to show that the glass is suspended in the air and not sitting on a table.
I like the amount of post-processing done with this photo is nice, as it is not heavy handed but I think that it highlights the aspects that you wanted to focus on. I would love to see a similar picture with the something floating within the glass. Nice focus, nice composition.
This is a very creative photo! The drops of water on the glass are noticeable and add a nice touch to the picture yet they do not take my attention away from the piece of paper stopping the water from spilling. The lighting is nice too.
It’s really impressive that the setup held for so long. Great lighting and background, interesting to see droplets in the glass above the water level.
I like the moodiness of this photo. The highlight on the wine glass really tells your eye where to go. I think it was smart to take a wider view so that there was no confusion as to what was going on.
