 trying to get this bottle to balance was a nightmare!!! still i hope it is worth it.
My feeling is that i may get a few DNMC comments, As the challenge stated "What do you believe in?" i hope this will not be the case. i think i may get a 5.5xxx score

Nothing cleaver with edits, All in CS3
Clone out the thread holding the bottle top, curves, levels, brightness, slight colour redress and then a resize, sharpen, noise reduced.

I think this is a cool shot and in MY opinion, I think it meets the challenge well. Everybody worships in their own way.

Most of your commenters saw the humor in it, and the link to the extended challenge description. But I'm betting a whole lot of folks never read past the title of a challenge so you always take that risk if you count on them to do so. Nicely lit and well executed, particularly the angle of the bottle!

thanks for all comments, however i think some people need to look at the challenge before voting to see if this meets the challenge or not.

The brief was "what do you believe in?" not get something holy and religious.

Each to there own and if you don't like the shot it self then fine but marking down as its not "Religious" is very closed minded.

I have just read the comments for this photo "post vote" and I have to say that I completely disagree with those who question the validity of the shot to the challenge.

Your starting point was what you believe in - not go out and take pictures of churches.

Your shot was well executed and I for one enjoyed the wit involved! well done.

sorry, but as a photographer your job is to convince me.

photographically, this is a nice picture. However, I am not convinced that this is religious.

don't think there is anything holy about this spirit, it has a spirit of its own. would have chosen a different background with so much black on the bottle. omo. good luck

Interesting...You illustrated a Bible verse. "Don't get drunk with wine (or whiskey, but be filled with the (Holy) Spirit." Great photo of the first part of the verse... :)
