Thanks everybody for all the great comments. This is indeed homebrew- a brown ale that came out pretty good, if I do say so myself. The glass in front is not homebrew. I didn't know how long it was going to have to sit out and I didn't want to waste one. The differing fill levels kind of bothered me, but I didn't have enough full bottles left to be able to pick and choose.

The strange shadow in the glass is not reflected, its actually a shadow cast on the background by one of my lamps. Didn't notice it at the time the shot was taken.

I kinda liked the highlights- though I guess blowing out highlights IS the cardinal sin in digital photography. I find it interesting that nobody commented that the glass looked dirty (it wasn't, but backlighting can be unkind). That was what bothered me most about the photo.

Thanks again for all the helpful comments.

Must be some people just didn't get it. I thought this image was outstanding. Thought it would finish in the top 5. I liked it a lot. Very Nicely done...!

Looks good except for the bright reflection on the front glass.

Love how the bottles and glass are lined up, and the shadows made. Excellent lighting, great highlights. Nicely cropped...no extraneous and distracting stuff going on. Great job!!

This is an interesting idea. I like the shadow created in this image from the placement of the light source. I also like how the light source shines through the glass. Nice work.

I like the lighting that is reflected on the glass.

Home brewed? My guess from the levels in the bottles. Nice take on the challenge! This seems vaguely familar to me! Very nice color through the glass.

Beautiful Rich Color, and an original idea too. That's always worth some extra credit! <9>

Yep - that is a good start! Nice light and composition. Slightly distracting shadow refracted in the drink, and highlight is blown. Good solid image, though.

You got gipped...the last bottle isn't nearly as full as the first one, and is less than the other three! ;^) Neat photo. You're probably going to take a few hits on the blown out glare on the glass. Good luck.

Nice composition and lighting. I also like the originality of the idea.

Hmmm! I'm curious. Judging by the fill of the bottles...could this be homebrew?

Nice lighting and composition.

why aren't they all evenly filled? i think we have a quality control issue down at the brewery... great lighting!

Lovely image with even greater potential, but a stretch for the spirit of the challenge. Still, nice effort. 5.
