[quote=kasaba] Just curious, did you turn the bottle 1/2 way on purpose? If so, why?

Thanks for your comments, yes I did turn the bottle on purpose, I guess I didnt want the label competing with everything else, plus its just a cheap bottle of wine, had it been an old Grange then I probably would have shown it. :)

The slight sense of instability is unsettling like an E.A. Poe story.

The palette and lighting technique make this look like an old master trompe-l'oeil painting.

This does look very natural and the glass is lovely. Just curious, did you turn the bottle 1/2 way on purpose? If so, why?

A few changes and you may have something for the wabi sabi challenge :-)

Nice and subtle for light painting. Almost looks ambient from a skylight. Nicely done.

Very nice and I like the idea of the addition of the glass of wine to this set-up. Seems as if you could try it in different positions in the composition - as if someone had been enjoying a read and a glass of wine and had just set it down for a moment. Focus is excellent and I really like the subdued lighting you are getting.

I like this best, too. Love the tones. I like the glove on a diagonal but not so much the background. Could you try rotating the placement so that you can get the effect of a horizontal grain in the background but a pretty strong diagonal on the glove?

Nicely done. One of your better ones. Lighting glass well is hard. Lighting glass this way is even harder.

Given what you're working on, you might get a copy of "Light, Science and Magic." It's an excellent book, all about how to light. What works, what doesn't, and why. Good book.

This is the best of the three, although I might like something that's somewhere in between crop #1 and this one. Basically, this crop, only with a bit more of the right side of the glove.
