 The night was moonlit, and I had a very dirty window, so I put the bottles against it and shot many times until the moon was placed right. Result was an image that appears as if the bottles are in the sky. Post processing included
exposure compensation,
brightness and contrast adjustements,
cloning the upper left to appear like clouds,
cloning the lower left whitish area to appear like clouds, lots of dodging of bottles to lighten without loosing the background,
saturation adjustments,
resizing to display 96 dpi
cropping of image
focus adjustment
Application of neat image to smooth out artifacts, especially noticable in the green bottle.

I like the concept. It is somewhat over exposed and it is difficult to tell that the light is the moon. I agree that it should be considered a still but it does not seem to be in the astrophotography category.

Good potential, but a bit overexposed and lacking in contrast.

I like the bottles a lot more than the fake background.

Like the idea and the contrast between the green and amber glass. I would have preferred to see into the green bottle more, like you can with the amber one. Also, in my opinion, the glare at the top above the amber bottle is very distracting. Really like the play of light on the amber bottle though. Good luck
