I made this photo at home, in the night, on the kitchen table, with extensive use of PhotoShop afterwards to paint the whole background black. Now you are going to say you'd like to see the entire bottle, eh? I intentionally cut the bottle in half, thus leaving the rest of the composition to your fantasy. Do you see the whole bottle already?Critiques are more than welcome!
Great lighting. But I find that there is a too much empty space at the right of the photo. I would like it cropped more at the right. But it is just my taste!
Hello Ferenc, my friend! So I have found you again on another site! I like this photo - it's very evocative. The dark setting and warm lighting are fitting for the subject, bringing thoughts of comfort and well being. I think the bottle, however, may be a bit too dark, and melts completely into the background. A suggestion for another shot: keep the lighting as is, but add a small light from behind and below, shining up at the bottle only, and thereby revealing it's outline (you may pick up a bit of the red from the wine as well!) Best regards, Dirck
Somehow it seems unbalanced this way. The bottle is tilted to the left and I miss the bottom part of it. This light-shade play would be exciting, though, and the composition is OK.
