About The idea was to concentrate exclusively on the content rather than the glass. (As it should be when the content is scotch! ;-)). The hues of the background seem to match the good old scotch but still the image is only half the way... Any ideas about what to do different here? More DoF, different exposure, or what else?

Cheers!

OK, so with "golden zone" you meant the rule of thirds, Aziz. Hard to imagine that in this case, as the only golden thing I see is the whisky. BTW, Any hint about why this rule of thumb is referred to as the "golden" rule with "golden" points, etc by many people?

In this case I don't really know if alone the content of the glass is an adequate area to present on some third. Perhaps the whole glass would be it, I don't know. The content alone looks a bit "lost" there, but your attachment does suggest in my mind what would have been if more of the glass would be visible, and at the same time the content would remain on some third. It is a good idea to try reasonably.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the nice comment and the suggestion, Indranil. Well, what about simply white frame? (Attachment.)

About the reflection, nice to see that we have two opposite views here. Marcio said that it should be avoided, and you seem to like it...

In such cases one has to rethink it. Interesting, really!

Cheers!

Replaced yellow frame with white after Indranil's idea


Nick Karagiaouroglou Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:127263} 12/25/2008
Thanks a lot for the clarification, Marcio!

So that means that I must indeed try some shots more of this kind.

Cheers!

As you know better than I, 4 points of the photo are called GOLDEN POINTS . They are located on diagonals of the frame with a distance of 1/3 of the diagonal to the corners.
Since the content of the glass takes an area I called the location around a golden point , a GOLDEN ZONE !!
The place that I located the content of the glass in the previous attachment !

Thanks a lot for the nice comment and also the idea/attachment, Aziz! With "golden zone" I assume you mean the content of the glass? Your idea goes more in the direction of the other one, I guess - a more "local" definition of it.

Hmm... I think I'll start some new series of glasses and whisky.

Cheers!

Excellent still life composition. I really like the lighting overhere. Lovely reflection too. IMHO, only thing is bothering me is the yellow frame. It is disturbing the vision a bit.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot Malules!

BTW, it is scotch, not wine. So the toning was not as good, I'm afraid.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the nice comment and the suggestions, Marcio!

About the darkest part at the upper right, you mean what I have cloned off on the attachment? It looks more "balanced" without it, that's true. So indeed another angle/PoV would be better.

About the reflection in the drink you mean the reflected things in that room? Or the light reflection?

Cheers and thanks again!

Cloned off darker part at the upper right after Marcio's idea

Beautiful, ..
For enphesizing on the content I suggest to locate the content on a golden zone. Not completely like the attachment but with adding to the bottom of the image !!

on the golden zone

I like it, Nick.
The good DOF, the tone and simplicity of the image that contains the color and reflection.
A good wine!
Cheers!

I found a very pretty picture.
The line in the middle has become interesting to me..almost everything perfect but two things bother me.
The darkest part of the upper-right picture ( perhaps if you are moving a bit to your right ) and the reflection in the drink that can be avoided with a card with almost around so I belive.
Nice picture Nick , hugs.
