Thanks a lot for your comments.
Your suggestions are very helpful. Wish I had more time to experiment.

Eugenie, I love the way the crazy stem of the martini glass is revealed only by its shadow. I also agree that the littler glass doesn't add much and actually might subtract a little. Just the big glass in the position it is currently in with perhaps a bit more sand to the left of its shadow would work best I think. Great seeing. Ann C

Eugeni, I really like this! I would agree with MFC and, will go a step further by suggesting one of two things....... Leave out the smaller glass and leave the image exactly as it is. I think it's a winner just like that!!! B. I would take the smaller glass and place it in the upper left corner...I think visually, it could work really well in that spot. I think you'll find it gives the image a nice visual balance and, the shadow from the smaller glass will run the same direction as the stem glass. I hope this helps stimulate ideas for you? Mark J

Eugeni, I like how you captured a combination of interesting textures here. I really like how the shadow of the larger glass reveals the true shape of the stem...nice lighting. Again, since you asked, I would experiment with composing the image without the smaller glass...I'm not sure it adds to the composition (just my opinion, something I'd try). MFC
