Keep 60% of the left, title, "Alcoholic Rose Thirsts." The message, Rose is looking for one more drink and is dragging herself to the wine goblet.

Great lighting and perfectly black background. Consider a bit more black space at the bottom of the shot.

On the download you can see white lines from round the card the rose picture was taken on...

Great. Odd in that I downloaded with my phone. Won’t make that mistake again. I’m without a computer whilst traveling. It really is a nicely lite shot. Great colors. I like it a lot.

OK, I pixel-peeked - which I don't normally do. I wanted to see if there was any interest in the black at all. You did very well at getting reflections in the glasses, and the DOF on the rose face is very good. The first thing that hit me was the lack of space below the focal point. There's a lot of space above, and almost none below. I think that needs to be balanced out a bit. I know everyone else likes those flat-black-textureless backgrounds, but I don't. If it had been a velvet cloth, for example, with some folds and texture, it would have been better, IMHO. There are 3 light streaks in the background that are curious. Sort of like shooting stars on a dark night! I'm curious what those are.
As to your placement of the objects, to me it looks very flat. I think putting the glass on the right nearer and to the rear of the left one and angling the rose in front of both glasses might add a bit of tension and vibrance to the image. But I may be too nit-picky! Which is why I usually don't try to do still life images!

Thanks. I thought about the bottom. Guess I'll have to do a little PS magic on it

Thanks Val. In DDL there does appear to be some white on the right side of the blossom. I'll have to be more careful on my isolation technique in the future.

The black background is simply a solid black PS layer. I am going to have to get a yard of black velvet and shoot some background shots. Any light streaks, I can't find them on my monitor, are artifacts. I agree about the flat look, my artistic sense is somewhere between little and none which is why I post here. I'll work on that when I fix the crop
