It's definitely an interesting crop Dave. Are you supposed to let it breathe?
That being said, I do like the image, although I'm a light-weight and even looking at the alcohol percentage makes me a little woozy

To be honest Dave I think you could have lost the flowers, the bottle still looks very tall.
That is some whisky. I have started to taste whisky with a little water now as well, but so far have tried to stay away from very peaty ones.
I normally drink Whisky Mac ( with Crabbies ) and I'm finding that it is getting too sweet now.

Yep I always let a good whisky stand in the glass for a while. Cheers
Thanks
Cheers Dave
I like a whisky, not a connoisseur by any stretch. This one a little (well a lot) above my station at £180 a bottle, unless someone gave it to me of course
A nice tight shot, and a very interesting bottle too.
Thanks - it was my retiremenr prezzie from work pals

I zoomed in on Flickr, it looks like a 50mm f1.4G.
Oh, and holy crap! £5299 on Wex photographic, body only, and WEX describe it thus:
"the Nikon Z9 features a more substantial body reminiscent of professional DSLR systems"
Reminiscent? If this isn't a pro camera I can't imagine what is, and it looks very substantial to me, Lucky boy, Dave

It's definitely a pro camera!

Nice camera, does it become muscle memory using the programmable function buttons? I still find at times I've selected the wrong button on the D-pad although I am getting better. Looking forward to your images with it.

Terrible shot, terrible camera! (Me? Jealous?... Never!
Nice one, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun! I like the textures in the shot, in the grip and the handle clasp on the bag.
Thanks Nick. Did my first paid job with it this morning. It’s a joy to use

Thanks Dave. Only on Day 3 so early days. For action shots it's a game changer for sure as far as Nikon goes!

So you won the Euro Millions the other day!
Great bird photos, the Z9 is the mirrorless I think I would go for, but would never get it past the accountant.

Week 6 : Alleyways
I took a few in the town centre yesterday.
The Wiend is as it says on the sign. Mostly listed and Circa mid 18th Century. I took a shot of the actual alley - then got chatting to the two young ladies sat further up and ended up taking a proper posed shot of them stood in the alley
1.
2. Probably a better shot for the actual theme - but I can't resist a pretty girl or two

I think I'm going to pile on with the rest of the viewing audience and say that #2 is the one for me. All really good shot.
