Very nice, clearly focused, and well composed image. But what guidebook would I find it in?

Overall I like the shot, but I don't think it does a great job of meeting the challenge, as it doesn't really showcase any particular area.

and on its own. and frozen on a stick... it's a nice picture, features a very lovely deep red (red wine is a lovely colour), but the overall composition doesn't get me excited, i'm afraid. only criticisms is that there is slightly too much white compared to the red, and the angle of the shot might feel more "right" if the bottle was tilted rather than the picture (the top of the liquid bit being horizontal (or parallel with the top and bottom of the frame) would suit the way it's looked at - if that makes any sense). only other minor thing is it's a shame you can't clone out little white dots - totally unfair rule that in my mind. still, it's a very nice clear, pin-sharp focused image. that makes me crave a drop of rioja... 7.

nice picture - colours are particularly pleasant. However, composition wise it's a bit odd - not sure having the left portion cut off and the right side of the surface it's resting on quite works. also, north in the southwest position and the arrow pointing west is a bit disorientating. i think there are certain unwritten protocols with photographing compassessess (compaii?) that have to be considered. dunno. overall the picture is very nice, colours ARE lovely and the focus unquestionably good. fits the challenge also. 6.

Great capture with lovely warm tones to entice the senses. Bumping.

It's a COMPASS! (Albeit, a nicely done one.) Doesn't tell me anything about a specific location to visit - would apply to ALL of them. Unless, maybe, the travel guide was highlighting local businesses and Eddie Bauer's HQ was there. :-)

The bottle's sloping, but the liquid level isn't level with the horizontal...

This is a really well done product shot that I just couldn't conceive of being in a travel guide. That said, I wish I could get silver product shots to look this good.
