What Bernie said, noting that the order in which he stated these items is of the utmost importance.

got pics of glasses but didn't work very well.

background is actually a terracotta tile floor and some baby toys, hence the excessive aperture to blur for the background :P

yes it is..... the glass is for drinking the top half of the wine while you reshoot as close ups like this one, needs the removal of some liquid.....

I agree... and in the name of photography I shall make the ultimate sacrifice by offering my services to help drain the dreaded bottle of some of its contents... *nods*

Btw... lurve that red background... agree the shot needs a little more DOF but its still nice as it stands.. :)

Hmm:
Bindii... Brisbane
Mickey... Perth
A long way to go for a drink. Now that's dedication :wink:
I can offer you one a little closer. Next time you are in Canberra, or Wentworth Falls perhaps.

More seriously.
A great photo. I've been trying to take photos of wine bottles for some months, & I know just how hard it can be.
As this is an "art" photo rather than a product shot, I don't mind the trailing OOF. It fits the concept of the promised land receding into the distance quite nicely.
