My outtake can be found here: //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=140302
This is by far the most difficult shot I have ever attempted to take in my short career of photography. The lighting, shooting, and editing, took several hours and a lot of effort. I wanted to break away from the normal and cliche wine glass shot and this is my first attempt at anything of the like. I had to make a make-shift softbox out of a desk lamp and I shot in the dark trying to get the precise exposure.
I'm not sure if this will score as highly as my outtake would have, but for sheer effort, I felt I wanted to submit this.
Shot with the Sigma 105.

neatly and carefully done, as far as the glass is concerned. There seems to be an added line of near-black each side of the image which annoys ne slightly - why not make it the same shade as the rest of the blackness? Given such extreme care with the lighting, it feels a slight let-down.
Nice photo...I would have liked to see everything in focus. Also, too bad that so many used this same subject. Tough to complete against many other similiar pix. (7)
