 I used a light box with a piece of black card obscuring 80% of the light in the middle. The glass of wine was shot against this backdrop. The only light in the scene comes from the two exposed edges of the lightbox. Tidied up a little and cropped in Photoshop. I hope it is not too dark for peoples screens.

This one is stunning! I really like how well the sides of the glass mirror each other. From a composition standpoint- great use of lines the edges of the glass really lead your eye through the photo. Great use of lighting and color! Great job!

Striking design and very well taken shot. I actually feel the image would have been even stronger if you'd cropped off the top of the glass.

Very Sharp image, with great light. I just wish so many people hadn't done the same thing. This, however is the best of the wine glass shots i my opinion. (8)

Great shot and use of light. The only thing that would make this better (for me) would be to see the outline of the top of the glass. Very nice image.
