STUNNING.... Awesome control of blow out and light softness, so far as I've seen (going thru one at a time) this is one of 2 top shots

just for your info, I do not see the vino clearly enough to identify it. My screen is a callibrated photographers monitor... Not voteing because I don't want to down grade a shot that may look different on others screens

O O O O ... This is GREAT... whicked idea!!! my only suggestion (this is just my opinion) I would've probaly smoothed out the back drop I think that would give the shot a look of extending into eternity... Now that being said, I understand the crinkled look and what you were going for with it and I can not down grade your artistic touch! just left the idea for you... sooo 8 and good luck!!
