Thanks for your helpful comment:-)

This was a snapshot taken at our local pub and the flowers were already there as a table dressing. The pint was brought out and put down in front of my boyfriend and I shot it where it was. Had no way of changing the lighting really and it never occured to me people may think it was a set up studio shot.

I see your point about the backlighting but in much of the Guinness marketing the pints appear like this, dense and black, almost solid, which is why I think I must have liked this and saved it from snapshot obscurity on my hard drive...

Thanks for looking, thinking about it and commenting :-)

Ursula,

Lovely lovely shot! Well done. I don't want to see the original. I want to see what YOU see...always.

This was my pick for the blue. I gave you a ten. Should have been much higher. I love Kandinsky and you did him well! True abstract too, and there weren't many.
