Say "Hello" to my Little Friends

A "found" still life in the city.

- Or perhaps the title can be "Sharing a drink called loneliness is better than drinking alone."

hmm.. I think the next photo should be them exploding via gun shot.

Ya might want to move them away from the window before you shoot that next photo.

the window frame and metalwork turns my eyes away from the bottles

I think a different angle would have benefited. Maybe looking down the line of bottles with a small DOF?

Thanks for the input. A different view was not possible, and shooting with the zoom at 25mm, a shallow DOF was not too likely.

That being said, I see what you mean about the subject disappearing into the background. I made an effort to separate them here. Bumped the saturation on the lables, and then a fair amount of desaturation (up to 50% in some areas), coupled with some blur on the window, and some more blur on the reflection.

Now, as a "found" urban still life, any better?

The whole window full of bottles doesn't work for me, but I think there's an interesting shot to be made from one of the corners of that window. Crop attached.
