I agree with you - I thought this would finish much higher!

"IMO this is not the spirit of Sauternes. And you'd serve it with food - foie gras.
no mark"

cough cough...oh, you mean this wasn't meant to be served in a river? how stupid of me (slaps forehead)

and btw, this is a site for creative photography, not a site of reference for proper culinary etiquette.

Love the smooth water and the stillness of the wine glass/bottle in contrast. The lighting, unfortunately, is quite harsh and unappealing to me :(

Crisp, refreshing image. I mean that in a color/mood way, but it is also different from the other still life shots. Nice stuff.

I really like the idea you had, but two things are bugging me:
1) The water droplets on the class and bottle are distracting. A shot like this screams for flawless props.
2) The harsh shadow caused by what I'm guessing is a flash or other bright light on the right side of the setup.

Hope this helps.

very interesting. I question the aesthetic placement of the bottel in relation to the glass,but that is minor, because there is magic in the shot and I like the overall feel and the border is perfect.
