Why did you remove this bottle from where you found it? I am sure the background would have help the clarity of its beauty shine!

I love this image! The clarity of the three benches nicely contrasts with the blurry souroundings. The tones are deep and stunning.

Looks like my backyard. Very good scene, good composition. DOF works well here, though it is minimally applied.

All I can say is WOW! This is such a beautiful black and white. The symmetry is incredible and I love the blankets of snow. Good luck with this one.

Great use of repetition resulting in a really quirky image. Doesn't seem to be a very shallow DOF here though.

I think I would have preferred to see this with a different background, something with a contrasting color and interesting texture. I really like the bottle - it's full of character and the lighting is good. The 'new' background just steals the thunder of the old bottle. It's a good shot, though, could see it being used in advertising.
