Challenge: Triptych III (Basic Editing*)

 I found a pair of lovely silver goblets while walking around the thrift store a couple days ago. After I polished one of them up, I knew I had the start of a triptych.

Goblets were shot available light. I stood about 30 feet back with a long lens to minimize my own reflection in the silver. The mead bottle has a little bit of warm light teased in from the left.

In Lightroom: Whitebalance, Fill Light, Blackpoint, Brightness/Contrast, Clarity, Vibrance, Sharpen, Noise Reduction. Then used Photoshop to combine as one image and add a border.

Very interesting shot. I find it quite "artsy" with the tarnished cup upside down, bottle in the center pane, and shiny cup right side up at the right - gives a progression to lead you through the panes. Somehow it feels to me like the bottle top chopped off is a problem - bothers me for some reason. Nice to offset the bottle from dead center, though.
