Three IBC bottles. Lit from the side.

Adjusted levels, saturation, curves, contrast, clarify, noise reduction

I like it. I can find 101 things to criticize about it, but I like it. Also, it was my first idea. I learned in the early days of dpc, never, ever go with your first idea, because at least 14 other dpc'ers will have the same idea. So, I had an absolutely kick butt, awesome, original idea, but could not, for the life of me, remember it. :/

So, you get the bottles.

I really like this and I adore the colours.

Funny how some shots are just popular and some aren't. Me, I like this a lot. I read the comments and there is a lot of nit-picking; probably not untrue, but I feel that the image wasn't really appreciated in its simplicity and richness.

you got quite the talent there my friend. My pic had a bottle as the main subject too. But I'm green eyed all over your pic. 9

TO me this image is a bit dark. Its a nice idea, however it is difficult to see and clarity is very important.

Nice composition, but the reflections are slightly distracting.

Nice idea - a touch too dark for me though.

Nice capture of the look on the glass. I'm not sure about the composition. Perhapos a portrait crop may have worked.

A bit noisy on my screen. I think some more contrast here with a different background might help.

I always think these terribly simple compositions cannot be hurt by taking things as simple as they will possibly go. The feeling that these aren't vertical adds an unwelcome tension to the image, one that isn't carried through in the image itself and thus feels wrong. The other element is of course the reflections, which show elements of a room and a window: clean those up, or simply use a soft-light, and you have, I think, an interesting tonal study in a kind of black/brown world. The shape of such shiny things is actually communicated through the shape of the reflections of light - if those reflections, as here, are of a more complex world they're likely to remove attention from what appears to be your subject: that is whay a simplification of those would work, and why every interesting shot of relective materials is almost always more softly-lit.

Good shot positioned well but I think I would have preferred a different background colour to compliment the bottles more.
