Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Something fruity and cheap i would imagine. I recall something similar I encountered in a vomitorium in Rome.

Shame abvout the corner of the house in the background right of this image. Distracting, but easy to overlook when you are taking the shot.

It's a nice decanter Pa, although I think you've got a bit of an evaporation problem happening there!

Make sure you don't let it drop from that balcony won't you!

Makes the budget stretch further ;) - and it's not a bad mix either, just need to let it sit in a barrell for a little while (something Pa has a bit of trouble with at times!),

Fair enough! PX is a touch on the pricey side, and it's wonderful at this time of the year. Do you:
- drink it as an aperitif
- drink it after dinner
- just drink it? :D

I love the glass decanter BTW.
