 Macro shot of an empty cognac bottle with gradient color displayed on the LCD screen in the background. Thought the circular middle label could work to my advantage. Tricky working around the bottle's various scratches, the shallow DOF helped with that but not completely.

Very minimal PS work, crop, levels, selective color to get darks darker, resize, sharpen.
