is there a subject to this photograph? you might want to find one, and kill the flash. it creates a really harsh sphere of light that really detracts from the dark sky/sunset. also, there is massive jpeg compression in this photo that i don't think was caused by a low end camera, but rather by a lack of knowledge of post processing software. also, i don't see how this fits the challenge, but i won't take off any points for that.

I'm sorry, I don't really get the connection to the challenge with this one, The tree seems like it has a soft focus on it, but that could be your camera. I think this could have been improved by having the camera on a tripod and turning off the flash to get rid of the white spots, with maybe some other form of lighting on the bottle. A flash light oculd be used sort of like a spotlight maybe. Finally, The focus is split between the bottle and the tree. Did you consider cropping out the tree?

Beautiful sun set, but I think I'm failing to see the something new. I can't tell what the bottle is, or what the red thing right next to the bottle is. The lighting could be either brighter so we can make out the objects in the back, or darker so we don't see them at all. There is something yellow hanging from the tree, but can't make out what that is either. I don't get it, but then again, I wasn't there. Maybe the bottle is full of something new, but I don't think we can see that from the picture. I think a close up of the bottle would be good (if that's the center of focus), or you could give up the bottle completely and go for that gorgous horizon! Good luck.

I like the colors of this shot. I wish I could say I understood what you were going for. The title baffles me, I think I see a bottle at the bottom of the frame, it's kinda hard to tell. 5 Swash

Sorry, but very the bottum half is very blury. The tree above is blurry also, but not as bad. Your point of your pic is the bottle (judging by your title); however, the bottle is not the focus but the tree above is getting all the attention in your pic. Next time try to focus in on your sublect you want us to see and let the other stuff (tree above, trees in background, darkness, light, etc) *support* your subject rather than be a "slave" to it. I give your pic a 2. Keep trying. All of us have to start somewhere, so don't get discouraged.

This is great example of how to use fill flash, but you've lost the focus on the bottle; that spoils it quite a lot for me. Having said that, on the positive side, it's dramatic, interesting and full of colourâ€Â¦ A sharp image here would have been superbâ€Â¦ Challenge link (I think) is very weakâ€Â¦ Sorry for being negativeâ€Â¦
