Filtered a typical standing halogen light through a yellow vase and shot in lower than ideal lighting. Ran through net image to remove noise and sharpen. Then drank the Port.

the empty space hurts this IMO - would love to see it cropped to just the distortion

I like way you have changed the shape of the bottle, with its waist it became a feminin port!

I think that the lighting and background are well done, although the more I look at this, the more I wish that the glass were in sharper focus. Probably very difficult to achieve, though.

The good: Nice idea and the coloring works with the subject
To work on: The glass' focus or position causes a weird shape which is distracting. Lighting a glass from the front is always a challenge in this type of photography.

I like porto, and the distorted bottle is really clear and has an interesting shape, but perhaps a colour other than orange/yellow could have been chosen for the backgroud? It's so bold, it almost overpowers.
nitpick: way off to the left by the border there seems to be a little extra line (missed when cloning out??)

A good idea. I like how the bottle looks through the glass. For me, I would have cropped this closer to your subjects though. Both objects are vertical, but your frame is a horizontal. To me, that makes it look kind of..."squished" - whereas changing this to portrait (or vertical) would enhance.
