 Simple setup. Three bottles with Amaretto, San Andre Blue Curacao and San Andre beetle leaf liquor (Yeah right! Liquor is the best medicine ;)). Added few flowers to make it look like essential oils.

Used spot metering and white background. Overexposed to heighten highlights (and make the background white). Bottles resting on glass table (and so the reflections).

Nice composition although i think a different coloured background might have looked a little better. But in saying that everything about the picture is pretty solid.

I think the background should have been a different color, but besides that I think this image is very good. My favorite part is the reflection of the bottles!

This is a fun image, however, I would have liked to see the bottles moved a bit closer to the edge. Everything else seems to work fairly well.

I am more facinated with the beauty of the reflection...I don't get a sense of aroma - still a good concept.
