Challenge: Red II (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D50
Lens: Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro for Nikon
Location: Recroom
Date: Mar 3, 2007
Aperture: F5
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/60
Galleries: Abstract, Food and Drink
Date Uploaded: Mar 6, 2007

 This shot was taken in my recroom, with a red blanket for a backdrop. There was some overhead lighting, and a trouble light with a red bulb for effect next to the glass. This was actually the first shot of many - the only one where I used the flash (forgot to turn it off). Of all the photos taken, I liked this one the most, mostly because of the shadows cast on the blanket. There was no editing done - it was straight off the camera (other than resizing for upload).

the shadow on the wall is distracting ... wish I could see the base of the glass ... I think it would be a stronger composition if the straw were cut way down to get a closer focus on the glass ...

Nice composition in this shot. The straw creates an interesting diagonal line to take your eye around the picture. The goblet portion of the wineglass is positioned well.

The picture does have a bit of a two dimensional feel to it. Perhaps a third element close or further away would add some depth. You could also show red floor/ground to add depth as well.

The glass could be sharper. Perhaps a smaller aperture could help create greater depth of field so the entire glass is sharp. It appears that autofocus may have used the straw as the focus point.

Interesting approach to the challenge that is certainly unique.
