Coming from my 1-4-0 thread ...

Hi Bill, the thumbnail of this shot is almost like a cityscape but for me the larger image doesn't do the thumb justice.

I think you got the lighting spot on (its not easy) but the focus is a little off. For me the blue bottle is the winner in this comp and thus should be more prominent in the shot. Leaving the comp as you have it I think if the lighter bottle and candle were more central in the 'space' you may have scored better. I'll not mention its not quite straight (doh!)

Very attractive colors, I feel the image could be tilted a wee bit to the right to balance, love the idea of a candle lighting each glass.

love the idea and the colors, beautiful. Only distraction I see is the horizon seems a slight bit tilted as the bottles seem to be leaning towards the left. Still nicely done and good luck

Cool shot. It's neat to see how the candlelight passes through the different colored vases.
