Thanks for the comments! It's really helpful to hear people's opinions. I'm only just starting to learn about photography - only got my camera in December, so the lighting worked out quite lucky without much of a setup. I set the glasses up in my husband's open guitar case to use as a black background. I drew the study curtains closed and closed some doors that were adding in too much light. Took a number of shots to see how light or dark it was, and increased my ISO to 400 to allow for a brighter picture. Made a few adjustments in PS and this was the result. Must say, I'm very happy with my best score so far! :-) Looking forward to learning lots more!

I tried it myself. i came up with reflections all over the glass. so how do you come up with wonderful lighting? i'd like to ask for your light setup in your photographer's notes. 6 btw.

The main thing for me here is that the flame is being repeated in all of the other glasses. That might be intentional, but it doesn't work well for me. I'm also not sure about the choice of a completely black background, especially since it looks like you may have simply cut out the background in post.

Nice, although a bit dark overall.

Very simplistic and minimalist interpretation of the challenge. It's a good thing..certainly sets it apart from all the landscape pictures. Well done!
