The best of both worlds a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio from California and a bottle of Mezcal that I bought from the maker in Oaxaca, Mexico.
I shot this one in my room and I used a Star filter to help get the stars on the bottles.
Any comments or suggestions would be great. Thanks for looking.

Was the table not level (the beverages in the glasses don't line up with their containers)? The shot needs to be rotated clockwise, too.

why didn't you straighten this out??

straighten and contrast would make this better i think, you have a nice symetry going on here

the colors are a bit washed... maybe another backgroun color would have helped bring more of the forground colors up.

I would like it better if the bottles were straight up and down. The whole picture looks tilted.

An interesting idea. I'm not sure that I like the flower. The "star lights" on the highlights are a neat effect, though I don't like the one on the neck of the wine bottle (it almost looks like a blur instead of a highlight)

Focus seems just a tad off to me.

I like your idea and the arrangement. I feel that it could be improved in a couple of ways - your photo leans to the left and I can see where the table edge is and feel that it would improved if I could not see that. You are heading in the right direction - keep up the good work.

The camera was tilted were you sampling while shooting? 5

The image feels very slanted to me and that bothers me. Also the star filter does not work well IMHO.

Could do with straightening up. Sort of meets the challenge...

too much elements in the composition

not in focus...crooked...the star effects are cool

Too much glare on the bottle slightly takes away from photo.

Sorry if it's the effect you wanted but the shot doesn't look level. I love the layout though, I may have gone with the cork in front of the rose but apart from that a great effort

Kind of on the lean there. Also, a bit soft. Good idea
