Colored bottles lit by a flashlight in front of a toilet tank. I'm very happy with the result of this shoot. I got exactly what I wanted: the colored bottles with a wonderful abstract colored background. One regret is that the bottles are of such cheap glass that I couldn't get nice smooth clear reflections.

Thanks to Levyj413 for the inspiration.

Very nice color palette. I like the different textures of the bottles. Normally I am not a fan of tilt, but here it works because I think it puts more emphasis on the uniqueness of the bottles as well as upping the energy level.

This is so pretty! I was one of your 7's - it was the color that sucked me in :)

I personally loved the color in the background - that is my fave part of your picture. I know that people seem to want some order in these types of shots, but what I liked about it was the disorder. That makes it seem more real and natural.

Thank you Brian. I lit it this way on purpose, and it is part of what I like about this shot. The takes that had all three bottles lit equally were a bit boring (IMO).

with the texture of the cork on the bottles was more distinct; strong light on the bottom right, combined with the falling composition weighted toward the same quadrant makes this seem unbalanced with a lot of wasted and/or uninteresting space in the other quadrants

A "Wow" shot, and another on my favorites list. I love the colors, and you captured the glass just right.

this is really a striking photo, and I'm not very good at predicting top 10's so I don't want to jinx you, but looks like a top 10 to me!

It's a shame the left cork is not lit as well as the other two.

might have been better, if the cork in front had also got some light. background is quite noisy. good colors.
