Thanks for the comments. The bottles were lit by spot lamps from above, this made also the yellow reflections on the right. MCsaba

Intriguing image with beautiful color and light. The light almost seems to be coming from the bottles, how did you do that? --Melanie

Great capture - I love the lighting, shadows and color!

Good idea well executed.The dreamer (?) here seems to be a bit of a connoisseur, for numbing his mind with several brands of beer on one go :)

Excellent shot with lots of symbolism, MCsaba.

this is a very cool photo - he could be reflecting on this shadowy part of his life and it has all sorts of shadows and reflections. My only question is what forms the circle of yellow light under the beer bottles on the front right? thanks ~gk

MCsaba, I love the lighiting in this scene...it really adds to the mood here. It's obvious with all the empty beer bottles and the head-down position that the drinker has come across hard times...the rest of the story is left to the imagination. I really like your perspective here...and all those shadow/reflections. The catch light on the shirt and the golden brown coloring of the bottles & table are very appealing. Good idea...nice set-up & photo, MCsaba. MFC
