 Wine In Glasses

Well, actually it's Jello! Jello makes it easy to get the angled liquid in the 3rd glass. I saw a pic very similar to this in the most recent Rangefinder magazine, and I wanted to see how I could do with that style. I wonder how many people will recognize it! Random overhead lights and a shop light right behind some white posterboard that makes up the background.

Shot in RAW: Adjusted white balance and exposure

PS:
Crop
Brightness/Contrast (primarily on the red jello)
Curves
Selective Color (whitened up the whites)
Lots of dodging and burning all over the place
A little blurring here and there
Resize
Sharpen (selective)

"WIG" is a very cool entry into the Acronyms challenge, I wasn't sure what the acronym was but the photo was very cool.

Now seeing that WIG means wine in a glass it makes sense, honestly not knowing for sure what it was did not take away from my score.


Excellent idea with the Jello, I am sure most of us out here would not have thought of this. The photo is a very clean shot, the white is immaculate. The red creates prefect lines to grab the eye. Looking at your photo now the only I see is on the third glass there is a small reflection but I think most of us would not have seen it.

Awesome job on the creativity!!

Wine In Glass? Seems like such an interesting photo must have a more interesting acronym, but darned if I can figure anything else out! Looking forward to the details on how you shot this one.

"Where Is Gravity?" Pretty much the same place it has always been...It just "looks" like it went on vacation because of the gravity-defying red jello in the wine glass on the far right! :)

Wine ignores gravity? Probably wine is good, but I don't quite see that communicated here. Excellent image, though.

Whoa, weird. Very cool picture. ... not sure what the acronym means, but "WTF?" would have probably worked too.
