 Saved these corks over the years. Love the texture and sharpness of a cork. It is from all the great wines over the years. My simple tribute to classic vino.

Editing:
Desaturation
Levels
Contrast/Brightness


Started out with these two, but they really didn't do it for me. I wanted something with classic style and dynamic appeal. Both of these seemed too flat.

Very cool idea, like how you captured all the varying prints and textures. Busy, but in a good way!

I like the concept, textures and lighting a lot! I wish that black cork were just a wee bit further down - maybe swapped out with the Vintner's collection cork - think that would strengthen the composition. Great entry for shapes!

Good one too. The dark one at the top is a little distracting, otherwise very nice.

You're not the only one to have this idea - personally I do think this shot would look better in colour. But a super idea which works well.

I had the same idea. Nicely done!
