Comment by Skip:
this is a good starting point. i think there are three variables that you can play with here until you satisfy yourself: camera perspective, lighting angle, and amount of liquid. i'd suggest starting off with more liquid in the bottle, shooting from different angles, trying different lighting angles, then removing some of the liquid and repeating. do this until the liquid is finished. ;-)

i say satisfy yourself because this is a solid base image that has lots of possibilities, so many, though, that it is more important for you to wind up with the one you would want to hang than it is to split hairs over which one to enter (even though i know this is not your entry.). good luck!

A good concept but I feel a closer up shot that was backlit would have worked better for me. I think that if this had shown all of the herbs and seed on the bottom of the bottle this might have been a show stopper. As is I feel it's pretty average.

Try moving the background back and lighting it. Plenty of tips relative to white backgrounds this week :) 6

This is well done, expressive, good composition adn contrast. Very good at displaying a touch of innocence with a feel of experience, whatever that means. good job.

the perspective on this is amazing. I originally gave you a 6. It is a very above average composition. you seem to have an eye for photography, and this photo is proof of that. I like the black and white, and what a great vantage point !! good job
