Congratulation for getting so quickly to this point, since you said that photography is quite a new hobby for you. Or is it already a profession?

Thanks.
No it's not a profession, and probably won't be. I want to remain absolutely free in my choices: I have no interest in fulfilling some buyer's expectations or vision.

Absinthe! The green is so vibrant in this image. I also love the ivy creeping around. I would love it even more if it came even further around the neck of the bottle. I like the addition of the glass...however if this was an ad, I think the jagged edges of the glass would disturb the viewer too much. The jagged edges are too obviously evil. A normal glass would be the angel with devil horns in my opinion. I still love your use of green and the back-lighting is perfect. The ivy really keeps the viewer on the subject.

I hate to disagree with a master, but this image CANNOT be improved. Congrats on your ribbon, Christophe.
