Still life - glass bottles

A very eye catching panoramic image of a varied selection of bottles and tins. There is plenty for the eye to consider and I think that your decision to make a detailed study of the shelf rather than take in the whole scene worked very well. The subtle tones, colors and textures are excellent but what I really love is the triangular light beam across the background, this type of detail is what turns a good image into an outstanding one. Congratulations on making my top ten.

Using the strong sunlight to backlight your bottles has shown them at there best. The shapes are many and varied and you have arranged them well with a good transition of light to dark across the display. I like the fact that you have not tried to crop out or hide the well lit background, this gives the image a nice natural look. Well done and congratulations on making my top ten.

A very creative and clever interpretation of the brief. The shallow depth of field immediately draws the eye to the focal point of the last drop! I also find the choice of black and white appropriate for this image. Great job, well done and congratulations on making my top ten.

This image of randomly shaped and various colored vintage bottles immediately caught my eye. The back lighting shows to full effect the beautiful subtle colors. Where the bottles overlap the effect is magnified. I like the way that you have arranged the bottles a slight curve with the taller ones ascending to produce a satisfying negative space in the background. The reflections in the foreground are just sufficient to catch the eye without being overpowering. Skillfully arranged and lit. Congratulations on first place.

The beautiful and varied shades, tones and texture of the burnt orange wall really pull the eye into this image. The curious addition of the bird on the bracket adds a mystique to the scene. The dark green bottles make a wonderful complement against the background. A delicately balanced composition makes this a stand out image, Well done and congratulations on making my top ten.
