Great shot Steve, perfect for an advertisement for sure. Love the transluscence of the bottle so wonderfully achieved. Cheers, Vikas.

Maybe a half-filled shot glass off to the side illuminated only by the glowing bottle? - either way - great lighting Steve. - Kelly

No problem - and don't stress about it. It is a fine photograph just as it is. Perhaps it is in fact exactly its simplicity and clean lines that make it work! :-) Regards jnconradie

jnconradie, thanks for the compliment and critique. I think you're right about the notion that the image could use some additional element, but I have not thought of what yet. I tried a flower in the bottle, but the shadow of the stem disrupted the milky illumination, and distracted from the texture of the label, so I gave up on it. Still have the thikning cap on thoough :) -Steve

Nice point of view... great lighting. (I wondered if one could have added something for "impact"... I do not know exactly what, but perhaps a bright red flower dangling out of the bottle and to the side... I do not know... just wondering... ) Compliments and regards jnconradie
