Reflector from the front?

Nice! Looks like there are two lights based on the highlights on the neck. One up and left. The other up and right but nearer the middle. The really soft shadows say "really diffused" to me. Are they desk lamps shooting through paper or fabric?

Ok, it is two light sources at 45 degree angles level to the bottle but aller and a third light behind it that lights the bottle's interior. The light sources are two worklights with 60 watt bulbs.

One was diffused.

You have a clue on this, it's a Single Light Source.

Hmmmmmmmm. Tough one. Window to our left and reflector on right, or
entire thing in light tent??????

It looks like the light was to the left and slightly behind the hand. It looks like you flashed the background. I think I can see the edges of the card or whatever you used for the background in the lens. I'd guess it was a powerful lightsource like a studio head.

did you use a softbox as a background?

Sorta... close enough..

the B/G is a white garbage bag with halogen work lamps behind it. sides top and front are aluminum foil.

Perhaps the background curves around the subject like a light tent with no top on it.

Ooh...so close :)

OK...We were under a railway bridge and I was lying on the ground. Its natural light from both sides of the bridge. We were nearer to the edge of the bridge on the boys right side and therefore we got stronger light on that side.

So its all natural light but a bit stronger on his right.

Very nicely done. I figured natural, I just couldn't figure out how.

I was almost right :-) I just figured that was a building.

Hey, I guessed that lighting was used!
