Cool image, though.

Beautiful image with a beautiful meaning to it. Black and white was a perfect choice.

Obvious tripod use: Medium-high. To me, studying the image makes it obvious that a tripod was used. But I put medium high because the tones of this image make the foreground stick out, and the background fade away. The background is the area of obvious tripod use, so if someone is looking quickly, it may not be obvious to them.

Love the lighting and the mood. It's cool how it has almost this misty/foggy look to it.

I like the image although the tonality and treatment does not go well with this wine! I am still searching for the meaning, but again, it's a very nice shot. (I voted early but had no time for comments)

Just at the right moment, great gaze with hint of movement.

I love this type of shot, and this one has such a connection between subjects, wonderful.

Beautiful tones and light. I rarely do this but I just have to say that without the ring and bottle I would thinks it would be exquisite.
