 Leftover wine from a recent Book Club meeting, kitchen table, existing light.

Basic crop/adjust levels/contrast/sharpen, burned the bottles a little for stray reflections.

Not having entered a challenge in years, I thought I'd give it the old college try. This is probably a good solid 5.2. LOL. :)

I like the arrangement of the subjects, but I don't like the yellow-y tungsten white balance. I think that having so many reflections in the bottle is distracting, and the use of ceiling lighting doesn't provide the most flattering angle of light on the subjects. The centered composition works great for the subject, but I don't think this has the attention to detail that I've seen in some of the other images in the challenge.

I love the composition, but find myself wanting to see it from a lower perspective... maybe just above table height.
