Colored bottles lit by a flashlight in front of a toilet tank. I'm very happy with the result of this shoot. I got exactly what I wanted: the colored bottles with a wonderful abstract colored background. One regret is that the bottles are of such cheap glass that I couldn't get nice smooth clear reflections.
Thanks to  Levyj413 for the inspiration.

| Very nice color palette. I like the different textures of the bottles. Normally I am not a fan of tilt, but here it works because I think it puts more emphasis on the uniqueness of the bottles as well as upping the energy level. |

This is so pretty! I was one of your 7's - it was the color that sucked me in :)
I personally loved the color in the background - that is my fave part of your picture. I know that people seem to want some order in these types of shots, but what I liked about it was the disorder. That makes it seem more real and natural. |

Thank you Brian. I lit it this way on purpose, and it is part of what I like about this shot. The takes that had all three bottles lit equally were a bit boring (IMO). |

| with the texture of the cork on the bottles was more distinct; strong light on the bottom right, combined with the falling composition weighted toward the same quadrant makes this seem unbalanced with a lot of wasted and/or uninteresting space in the other quadrants |

| this is really a striking photo, and I'm not very good at predicting top 10's so I don't want to jinx you, but looks like a top 10 to me! |

| It's a shame the left cork is not lit as well as the other two. |
