I went ahead and cropped a slight bit off the right side.
(To get rid of the little bit of purple bottle glass still visible.)

Superb!!!! ZoomBoy

Really nice shot. Love how you captured the shadow which marries the grain of the wood. Bill

Melanie, your photo is wonderful. I like the bottle´s shadow on the wood.Bravo!

Beautiful light and clarity, very nicely captured, Melanie! FWIW if you want to crop the right side, you can just replace the picture but keep the title and comments. Go to Edit Image and scroll to the very last item on that page for instructions. Helen

Beautiful and unique capture of light, Melanie. I like the way shape of the bottle is so clearly defined, and the grain of the wood floor visible through the bottle. Very nice! Bev

Melanie, a most unique idea to build a bottle of shadow and fill it with light. I also love the oak background with its strong lines running opposite from the thrust of the subject. Really nice technical execution of a creative idea. Michael Puff

Thank you all for your comments! Yuri, I agree. If I'd noticed that little bit of purple bottle glass on the far right side, I probably would have cropped it before posting. Melanie (mlynn)

I like your photo very much: wooden background, colors and, of course, light. But if it was mine I'd crop a little bit the right side. Yuri

Really beautiful example of light! I love the way the light makes patterns as it filters through the bottle and the way it illuminates the wood grain. Lisafx

VERY nice! Nice clarity, shadow / light contrast and, the wood flooring is a great texture to throw a shadow onto. Mark J

Mlynn,
Love the warm glow and the detail of the wood grain as well as the interest that the bottle shadow provides.
