You know, Whiterook, your photography is improving no end. There is room for improvement, but I don't get the 5 1s and 12 2s - I reckon it is people seeing your signature chess board and being subliminally influenced to vote lower!
I love product placement in photography... it may not glow in an artistic light the way other entries due, but these sorts of shots absolutely have a place in photography. As a matter of fact, a more profitable place in photography in the eyes of a commercial artist.
There are a few things that bug me... focus isn't quite as sharp as it should be, and the lighting isn't quite right, either. The tabletop pattern works well, so good choice there, but the candle isn't working for me - I think removing it from the dish so that nothing takes away from the bottle would work much, much better.
