Nice lighting through the white bottle, and composition-wise, I like how the corkscrew opener is up high. Creates a very nice line.

Simple and effective. Hmmm. Is the cork screw really that long so it goes all the way through the cork and comes out the other side? I haven't ever seen any that long.

Obvious decision, nice neat pic.

Well done, technically. Looks a little odd to just have the corkscrew sitting there with no obvious human intervention; it's a very sterile feeling.

This is good, a little more light in front might be nice

I just bumped this one up after realizing how many poor scores I gave. This is a clear decision, a well composed shot (I especially like that you have used a background/lighting scheme/composition that removes the shadows). I only give 10's to photographs that I would hang on my wall, but for this challenge that's a tough one. Nice shot!

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. I get a wonderfully composed image of wine bottles... it's a shame really because I love this photo. Really this is fantastic. I can understand though... I mean unless you choose to drink a wine, you do not open it to let it sour. So extra points on the cork screw.... the title assists in your thought process, and I do love the photo. I give it a 8.5... but it's going to be a nine since we don't have those.

good choice. thank you. wish you could pour me a glass while we lament the multitudes of decisionless photos posted in this contest. It's really not difficult, right? Show the options, show the decision. You accomplished this with stylish simplicity. 9

Nice idea. A glass of white would seal the deal.

A little stark, but I like the idea. To be quite honest, I came up with something similar so we'll compare notes at the end ;)

Good luck!
