The blue on blue works well Nico. Not sure how it would look if the exposure were to be increased, but as it is, it has a brooding quality that I like. Regards, Michael

Thanks! Autumn Sky, I agree with your comment about being too dark at the bottom. To be honest, I think the whole image is under-exposed by quite a lot. Regards Nico

Deep shades of blue well arranged. -tv

Beautifully arranged... great balance to shape and form. A little dark on the bottom. I like how you've allow the translucent quality of glass to add depth to this composition. Nicely done. Cheers, LC

Hi, I was fortunate enough to work with bottles that are already very nicely blue. The backlighting was just added to enhance the impact (I hope!). Thanks and regards Nico

OK...dumb question. Were the bottles or blue or did they pick up the color from the background? -dtallakson

Thanks, guy, for the feedback. The other one has been banished to that dark, cold and lonely planet called Pending. Regards Nico

Also my fave of the two. Has a good tight composition and smooth background. Not a big fan of the line in the background in the other.

Nice composition and beautiful colors. The shapes speak for themselves.
