Actually: the "window reflection" is in fact a studio light to which I attached 2 sheets of white sketch paper on the side to create a barn door. Over these 2 sheets I placed some kitchen paper to soften the light. This kitchen paper is what's reflected in the bottles and what appears like a window. If you look closely you can see the edge of the paper touching the table. I use this system each time I want to avoid the typical square reflection of a softbox.

An OK interpretation of the challenge - I do like the idea of the two bottles, one glass - makes for a pleasing arrangement. But if you're going to shoot glass, it must be spotless - no dust, no marks, no flaws in the glass. I like the "barn door" reflection - you'll note a lot of advertising with wine bottles has this reflection - gives definition and shape, I think. But if you REALLY want to shoot glass well, go spend some time in karennfld's portfolio. Read the notes she has on her glassware shots to see how she does the lighting. Note that all the glassware is pristine (and in non-basic challenges you can clean up some of it in post production.)

Wonderful light and the window reflections are lovely! (I didn't vote all in this challenge - sorry).
