wacked table top with 2 umbrella flashes from front lft and rgt and blasted white backdrop and from directly above subject with 2 slaves. used levels to lighten further and get rid of creases.

there are some serious aliasing artifacts around the edges of the wine glasses, how did you convert this image to it's final size? also, i don't know enough about wine to tell if those are good wines or not. :)
I do not drink alcohol of any kind, but this is probably my favorite picture. I like the symmetry and balance you've set up. the lighteningis good, and everything is very much in focus. One tiny little thing -- maybe scoot the red glass right a bit, or the white one left. Still -- great shot. 10.
Nice jusxtaposition of glass vs type crossing the picture. This would have been excellnet for the upcoming product challenge as well. How'd you achieve the totally white background?
I think the transitional nature of the subject requires that any winemaking related pictures should be of grapes squashing through people's toes. This picture almost gets the commercial look, but the light reflecting of the bottles is too hard, and it is almost over exposed. More problematically though, it isn't very interestingly composed.
I really liked this idea, but the glasses aren't lined up the same on either side, and the grapes are also not balanced. This was the difference between a good picture and a great picture for me; it just needed to be a bit more symmetrical.
very nice shot, great composition and focusing, I like the light reflections on the purple grapes, but the reflection on the wine bottles is a little distracting
lovely still life. very well composed/ put together. seems it could have been a fraction more to the right, to capture the whole shadow (now I'm being picky) Good call picking Australian wine too. I like the yin/yang dichotomy of the white and red wines intertwined with the grapes. (you have to excuse me, I'm practising art-speak) Great picture.
It's a wonderfull picture. I like the arrangement very much. Technically seen, the edge of the table shown behind the glass of white wine is a little disturbing.
