This is my first entry as a member. I photographed these bottles of maple syrup using backlighting to highlight the shapes of the bottles. I used a dull orange bristol board for background and bounced the light off a red cloth to the background to create the backlighting. Lighting used was a small 15-watt incandescent bulb.
Post-processing: crop, levels adjustment, color adjustment, very minimal cloning of some unwanted glares, USM.

This is actually a very well lit and crisply taken shot, but has become very washed out and magenta-heavy. As for 'shapes' this lacks interest for me, but it has the making of a nice still life.
