I'm all for moody lighting, but I wish that at least the highlights were a bit brighter to add a touch more contrast.

The lighting on the bottle is very well-executed! The color adds a surprising and welcome change. I love the texture in the bar too. I can't help but wish there was a slim female hand with a fat diamond ring on it resting on the bar as if a high-class lady was flirting with a tuxedo'd man just outside the frame.

I would have preferred a slightly longer lens so that the barrel would be comparatively larger in the frame. I think all the action is in the second room, so the longer lens could have also trimmed down on the first room. The second room looks so cozy!

The lighting on the bottle is exquisitely silky. Nice set-up.

Is It Done Yet??

I love this idea. I wish the lighting was a bit moodier, maybe lit from just one side instead of both sides.

The processing seems to have darkened the wine and brought out more detail, which, to me, makes it look thick, like chocolate! With such a clean background, I would have preferred a dainty female hand. I think the male hand would have worked better with a restaurant scene in the background to make it look like a fancy waiter was pouring the drink. I lover the texture of the liquid inside the glass.

This is over-sharpened for my taste. The green also looks sickly, which doesn't fit with a subject that is usually considered high-class. I think the green could have worked if either the title pulled it together or if the green was a more lush, dark shade.

I love all of the layers and the color in this. The repeating shapes help this from being too busy or disorganized. Such a great shot!
