I won one of the prizes at the camera club Christmas Social raffle.
Thanks to whoever donated it - cos it has 2 uses. The wife and daughter get to use its contents on the inside, and I get a still life subject to have a go at.
I draped a crinkley cloth across a table and placed 2 of the bottles on it, one on its side with the crystals carefully "tapped" out of the neck. I laid the lid near it, and placed a second bottle just behind.
The light was diffused by drawing the curtains, and I bounced a flash off the ceiling. In post processing I had to clone a bit of the flash light out of the glass, and then added a guassian blur layer, and a vignette, before flattening down.
* So here is the finished product...

Opinions always encouraged.
