OK that's just insanely well choreographed and photographed. In all respects. I look forward to your ribbon.
Coming back to this I think you will get the purists complaining that they have never seen orange, green or blue wine and that this makes the image a DMC. Personally I don't think it's such a big issue, where I come from you get Orange Wine made from surprise, surprise; oranges and I am sure you get Kiwi Fruit wine and Blueberry wine somewhere in this world :)
I'm guessing William88? (Some may mistake it for a Gyaban.)

Lovely image and background. Pity it has been overprocessed. Looks like Topaz Simplify.

Good comp and nice use of DOF. How many people will take the time and notice your partial body and wooden railings reflected in the glass? Good thing you wore black :)

Fred, no idea how I missed this. What a fabulous iconic winter scene.
Of course everyone will dissect the image as they have the luxury of looking at it for a long period of time. What's often missed by viewers, voters, and this irks me no end, is the lack of comprehension of the effort required to get a shot and purely voting on ROT, sharpness, colour, composition, and their perception of DMC/DNMC. To get out in the cold, to get up early, to visualise the shot, to know how to shoot it, and to return after a long or cold or perilous journey. Landscape photographers know this too well. Early mornings, cold late evenings after sunrise, mountains, and so on. Work load and effort is valid also for studio work, but generally that is a repetitive re-creatable environment.
Not withstanding the above drivel , what makes this shot are the two shoe trails seemingly leading away into the mist. Without that enigma, I think the image may not have had the impact it does. Well done, ribbon or not.

Gorgeous iconic landscape.

The Red Bike

Naturally the style is recognisable as is the alleyway and the crisp b&w processing unless you now have a copy cat :) Great work and an eye for detail. Being France I guess a baguette and a slab of Brie or Camembert in the basket would not have been out of place ;p

Good still life. Has all the right elements, light, colour, props, even an odd broken granite cutting board. Pity about the awful dark shade blotch on the table cloth bottom left.

Have you tried the Red?

Off course this idea has been done before. Fine. No issues. You have rich fabric, a suggestively shapely...wine glass and model and good lighting however the composition is not great. I'd have placed her more to her left and accordingly the bottle and glass avoiding the irritating sudden end of table and cloth. My preference. Others may not even notice it :)

Nice placement of the bottles, glass framed by the brick surround. BG DOF bottles in fireplace also fills some otherwise dead space. The white balance feels a bit blueish.

Great POV and image. The conversion to erm Sepia? certainly gives it an olde world charm. Lovely work.
