 A perfume bottle (Adidas after shave) on a half reflective board, with a yellow can beyond. Lit by a classic lamp beyond and by LED's ahead. Tripod used.

Really a macro (lens 100mm @ 1:1)

Postprocessing: raw conversion, tonal contrast, graduated neutral filter, noise ninja.

I had no idea what this really was, and my guess was way off the mark, but I really like the image and it would be quite acceptable on a wall.

Is it a very fine trickle of water falling over stone ? Or maybe part of an artwork in pastel?

A stumper, so meets the challenge. This is the best image I've seen yet. Love the composition, the colors, the implied movement.

Cool! Looks like it could be the lower portion of a glass bottle, spirit bottle for example. Nice colour

No sure why it's making me think of beer. Well i'm not thinking of sex so I guess it must be beer!
Great shot. You got me on this one! No Idea
