Very nice Fons. Looks a little more like Christmas to me ;-) Interesting that you should use this canvas treatment, I almost turned my shot into a painting. This subject matter just seems to lend itself to this interpretation eh. One comment though Fons, don't be afraid of kicker lights. IMO without, the subject, whatever it is. looks flat. Adding a kicker does exactly that. It kicks of the depth and adds dimension to an image. Again, good stuff, and I see that you have found one of the joys of shooting food and drink...you get to sample ;-)

Thanks very much Randall, also for the tip to use kicker lights , did know what it was looked it up on Google and found some interesting tutorial's...

Best regards,

Thanks Nigel , much appriciated...;-)

Cheers,

Nice still life . good ps work but I prefer to see it in " natural" . Best regards Sergio

Thanks Sergio,
I will send you the original as a Christmas card, is that OK?

Best regards,

you made me blush with this nice comment...;-)
This is something new again , I found it very interesting to do...
Before this shot was as it is I had finished the bottle of red wine, took me a while before I had the set-up I liked..

Best regards,

A very nice composition, Fons. I like it.
Burgundy , Bordeaux or ???
Regards
Bruno

PS: A french proverb says:
?tre sobre c'est boire bon.
(approximate meaning)
be sober is to drink quality vine.

Thank you very much Bruno and yes it was a Bordeaux ,
BTW, I was sober when I started , when the setting was finished not anymore...;-))

Best Regards
