I think most of this crit was completely pointless in being an actual critique. Especially this: "You also did a good job with the lighting; the corner of the picture gets dark, as if there is a light shining on the bottle. That really blends the picture with your title, in my opinion." Take a moment to realize what is being said; 'I see a shadow. It looks like you have a light on'. Well, YES. The photographer would indeed need a light ON to take this picture. And having a light on to take said picture plus "amethyst love" have absolutely nothing to do with one another. Now, if something was said to the effect that the light itself appearing to be amethyst only intensified the emotions the viewer might have while studying the bottle of violet stones, that might have a better shot of possibly making sense.
And, "One thing that could enhance this picture would be a more creative point of view. The picture is kind of an an angle, as if it's slanted downhill. Maybe looking down upon the bottle would add a more interesting POV. There are endless possibilities here, and I would just encourage you to experiment a little." Is probably the only thing that was an actual crit here, aside from being vague. A downhill perspective IS a point of view, and can be accomplished in any number of ways to complement the subject. I think what they didn't realize is that your bottle seems a little uncomfortably off center, and the ribbon leading out of frame makes one feel a little extra tipsy. In essence, they could have said "Try experimenting with several different perspectives per shoot of the subject", to get a broader feeling of what you might ultimately want, versus whichever may come out the more focused best accented by accompanying components."
Yes, I did just crit a crit. I'm sorry, but someone linked me and it pains me when people just use the critique to leave complements and can't actually add any insight or useful suggestions, which is what the crit option is there for.
Personally, I think if you practice a tad bit more with centering or finding a really even balance of your elements, this could even make a beautiful set or series. Do you have other shaped bottles, colors of ribbons or stones to use for any others?

It was accepted into "Commissions" but no artwork-related are accepted except for info so you must remove this from the folder. If you wish you can submit it to "Artworks"

Hmm. As a contributor, I cannot remove deviations, only the founder/co-founder can. I guess I will bring up the trouble with my founder. I'm sorry to trouble you.
