 My baby's formula bottles - all prepared and awaiting her next feeding. I get them ready after dinner for the over-night and morning.
Took this shot around 4:40am after her last feeding.

With the Holidays fast approaching and an upcoming move, the 5 minutes that I spent on this entry is the maximum time I could afford this week. I know it's not the best of compositions and don't think it will do that well - if it breaks a 5.0 - I'll be ecstatic!
and what can you really expect from a sleep deprived Mama of two at 4:40 am??? Ha Ha

All auto settings on camera, and light of our fridge only.

Editing: crop, auto levels, slight contrast, sharpen, edge preserver and border.

Without the title, this wouldn't tell much of a story to me. I think the bottles need more context. Shallow dof doesn't look deliberate enough to me. Why have you focused on the middle one? Although the subject may be meaningful to you, visually it looks dull and uninspired... I don't think you've really SEEN what you're taking a photo of here other than bottles for your baby. What do they really LOOK like?

Great take on the subject although perhaps might of been better shot with greater range in the DOF

Are UK ounces and US ounces different??

I wish the depth of field for this shot was either wider or narrower... having the very foreground and background portions just barely out of focus seems distracting to me... I think either all in focus or only one bottle (not necessarily the center one) in focus would be less distracting.
