A pair of glasses.

Fairly easy editing. Raw import, crop, resize, reduce noise, adjust colours (more red), adjust curves (midtones). USM, neatimage.

Still far from perfect. On bright screens, some noise is visible in the bottom half of the photo.

Good effort, David. The comments below are all pretty much on target. I've only tried one wine glass shot myself, though, so I'm no expert. One thing to think about aside from perfect symmetry is backlighting - that will get rid of a lot of the reflections. I actually like the reflections here, as they add more symmetry and matching elements, but just for future reference.

Let down by the glasses being tilted.

Needs a bit of CC rotation.

I guess I like red, white and transparent. Isn't it valentine's day soon as well? Guess you'll have this set out and ready.

There's are little unbalanced parts, a little off center and off angle that makes it a little uncomfortable, nothing too drastic but I guess when I look at a picture that is composed with such symmetry, imperfections are easily noticeable and even more unsettling than chaotic pieces where things are just thrown around loudly. It's like listening to a fly buzz around your ear when you're trying to sleep compared to a fly buzzig at a rock concert, you know?
