Beautiful shot. This is one of the best still life images I have seen here recently. I particularly like the way the lighting highlights the '1923' on the wine bottle. I'm no wine afficianado, but would this old wine be turned to vinegar by now? Beautiful work and excellent composition overall... = 10

This is one of the two tens I gave in the exposed challenge. The set-up and composition was the first thing that hit me when I clicked on the thumbnail. Secondly, the play of lights and shadow, which is very effective here. Thirdly the reflections of the bottles in the glass. All these points work in harmony together producing this wonderful pic. My hat off to you. This looks very much like the style of jjbeguin - 10

Interesting choice! I like the composition, the rich color of the wine is beautiful and the way the lighting is set so it highlights the date is perfect. I'm assuming that was purposeful. :) I even like the dusty quality of the bottle, helps tie in the 'exposed' aspect of the photo. 7

nice. good use of b/w treatment. gray tones help convey the gloomy, solemn feel.
