 Taken on tripod using SB-800 speedlight and kit 18-70mm lens set at 70mm focal length. Editing included boosting contrast to blacken out the background, selective gaussian blur, resize, then USM. Came out better than I'd anticipated - I'm becoming a fan of the GIMP selective gaussian blur for its neat-image-like capabilities but still have a way to go before mastering it.

The bottles are Peller Estates 2004 ice wines - very tasty!

Nice photo, I think that maybe a little more light on the bottle on the bottom would help. It also is a little odd in the composition, but interesting at the same time.

A little busy but appealing. Not too bad, without being eye catching.

This shot makes me a little dizzy. I'd be curious to know why it is arranged the way it is.
