David,
Wonderful! If I were judging this in a print competition, I would have to score it very close to 100 -- can't see anything that detracts from it. Composition and lighting are great -- your use of subtractive lighting shows a strong understanding of technique. Congratulations.
God Bless,
Greg #1029094

Anahelena Natera February 02, 2005

Hey David. First of all, congrats on you First Place! Love your shot. Very clean, very simple, very beautiful.

Could you tell me a little bit more about the setup? What do mean by "black catches"? #1080419

David Savoie February 03, 2005

by black catches I mean black sheets, so no extra light aside from what I wanted would hit the glass and bottle.

i set the two on a stool, and then shot from in front of them, with the black sheets hanging around.

David #1082306

Anahelena Natera February 04, 2005

Thanks David! That's a great idea, I'll definitely try it some time. #1082928
