 Not really pleased with the outcome of this photo, so I figure it wont do as well as my previous challenge entry. This was a last hours idea change from my original photo I was going to enter. I thought it may have had more potential, but after editing.. I don't think it does.

Enjoy anyways.

Yep .. that sucked! LOL Thanks to all that voted and commented however.
I do appreciate it. It's all part of the learning curve.

Puckzzz, good eye! Those little holes are actually the top of my radio beside my bed. I snapped this on my night table and the black background is my CD sleeve folder. The radio was the only thing I could find that was black to raise up the bottle.

My initial submission was a wooden angel, with metal wire wings with its back facing towards the camera and my backlighting part of it was my flashlight pointed at the feet area. I felt the flashlight was casting too bright of a white light, so I went with the bottle idea.

So as I was editing it was already late in the night and I didn't want to give up and not submit a photo for the challenge. Submitted it anyways.

NEXT !

crisp looking but a tad dull on the subject.
