did the focus hurt this shot?

[aint_lost]

I only have a point and shoot, so i pointed and shot and this is what I got...
About an inch of hard apple cider in my beer mug on top of a glass patio table. I really like the reflections and colors, but, something with the focus seems wrong to me. The f/8 maybe? any other ideas? opinions in general?

Thanks for the help.

Cool idea. I find it's just too dark, with the centre of the shot being a black patch, nothing really seems in focus. Perhaps it would look better lit from below?

ain't_lost, Welcome

"Focus seems wrong" doesn't explain what you see that isn't right. What I don't see is a subject/focus for my attention. The edges of the facets of your glass are sharp, and some of the brightly-lit refracted scenes in the glass bottom have detail. But this is an abstract, with a distraction, bottom/left. Ninety-percent dark, a tiny touch of color here and there.

Not wrong, interesting at first look. Imagine if someone had been under the table looking up, with lots of light on their face.
