 It rained all day today so I didn't have the chance to go seeking some real dead-ends, so ended up with the metaphorical type instead.

Much faffing with a glass of red wine & tablets (actually my glucosamines as I don't have any sleeping ones ...) Alternative shot of fallen glass with wine spillage was considered but I liked the simplicity of this one & the shadow & slight pink hue cast by the wine glass. And thank you Radiohead for supplying me with the title :)

levels, contrast, slight crop, cleaned up dust spots, USM.

I'd like to see more red in the wine's shadow.

Graet idea just showing the wine glass a shodow. A good idea well done I thought.

I get it. I would have liked to see some light shine through the 'red' wine to fit the title.
