Goats Do Roam ( Enjoy a Sip, Leave a Crit' ;-) )

Playing around at the kitchen table for a "picture a day" challenge on another site.

Natural light (backlit) plus some levels adjustment in PS on the label.

1/20s, f/4.5, 60mm

Nice. I like the crispness of the bottle played against the very soft glass in the foreground.

Very nice pic !

nice wine too!! I am from South Africa.. Living in California right now.. moved from one great wine country to another ;)

nice idea,

but the empty space under the bottle is too large IMO. Perhaps a flatter angle, so that the bottle would be lower, would have a better effect.

I like it. IMHO the space under the bottle is fine. I think it complements the stem of the wineglass.

Thank you for the comments. I understand Ikinaa's observation to a degree; if the bottle were slightly lower in the image, say right where the "rule of thirds" would place the "Goats do Roam" letters, the eye would more naturally go to them first. As I review the image again using "the blink test," my eye tends to go first to the goat, but then struggles to hit the words above. Or maybe I've just had a few too many sips? 8)
