Nice thought. The first time I submitted for another challenge, I sharpened it and didn't like it, I prefer the "dreamy" look for this one. Thanks for your comments, though!

Just the same I think you do yourself an injustice by not having a look at ways to improve it in Photoshop.
The great Ansell Adams saw photography as a banal giant in the hands of superficial amatuers,a miraculous pallete manipulated by the creative artist.
I tend to agree.

Hi thubleau, the image is as it came from the camera, no filter, no effects, no sharpening. Just lighting.

It just does not look sharp enough to me.
Whether that was intended or not I would redo it and see what it looks like sharper.
Also the bottle may have been better without the filter effect over it.

Thanks Shu! I'm glad I had the chance to use it again :) What I like about this particular picture is that it is just like it came out from the camera, no PS at all :))

I love this image, Nugar! It has a captivating mystique. Shu
