I love the idea of No1, I just find the composition a little messy.
Edit is much better - but still not quite there - not too sure how it should be composed - but a very good idea
Thanks Michael, but if I'd lost the fingers it would have been "Susp-Ending" I did try to get the neck of the bottle above the glass, but holding it in my left hand whilst holding the camera in my right hand and focussing, the only way I could get it to stay still was to have it actually touching the inside rim of the glassSense - The 2nd attempt by far the better one, Its so not easy to compose these with out it looking to composed. Not to sure on the shadows being so harsh.
Ending - I'll go with the Grown Up effort. Nice BG would maybe lose the fingers and have the bottle slightly out of the glass
Thanks DK. You're right about the trunk needing to stand out more. I'm always afraid of the over-exposed look and loss of detail in b/w shots by adding too much brightness and contrast, but I think this one looks better.So for me it's the tree too composition and crop wise, but also feel it needs something to make the trunk stand out a tiny bit more
A couple of nice entries
