This week topic is Weekly Photo Challenge: Together which is my third attempt to participate. In this picture I provide wine together with its holder. Also, we can see the object together with its reflection. Hope you enjoy it.
I shoot it using my Canon EOS 40D and Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens

Nice presentation
Thanks
Beautiful…what I like best? The ‘bend’ in the bottle in the reflection. Awesome
Rhonda
Thank you, Rhonda. Actually that ‘bend’ is accident occurred. Glad you like it
I love it and it makes the photo that much more unique. I’d hang that one on my wall in a New York minute!
Rhonda
Glad to know that it created such uniqueness. Myself don’t realize that bendy bottle
Such an honor. I feel flattered and get red in the face.
Lovely reflection! I didn’t notice the bendy bottle until Rhonda mentioned it, but now that I see it, that part makes it even better!
Thank you, Josy, for visiting my blog and for your honest comment. Glad you like my photo.
However, may I know why you like the bendy bottle part? Shouldn’t it be have the equal proportion?
From what I’ve seen, your aesthetic is a sort of studio-perfect look, so I can understand why you wouldn’t like that “flaw.” But to me, as a professional 3D animator and amateur photographer, the whole beauty of real photography vs. fake 3D models is that reality is flawed; if I want a perfect shot of a wine bottle, why not do it with CG? It’s the little unexpected surprises of photography that amuse and delight— as in life!
In this shot, it’s well-lit, well-exposed, an interesting subject, blah blah blah. A good photograph. But— please forgive me, and note that I say this only to make a point— common. Usual. Normal. Nothing special. The part that MAKES it special, to me, is that almost unnoticeable asymmetry between the bottle and its reflection. It’s a subtle detail that (a) when the viewer eventually notices it, he/she feels like he/she has been let in on an inside joke, (b) can be interpreted as a concept piece (reality vs. what we see in our reflections… especially if you were to push the distortion a little further), and (c) is the sort of detail that a CG artist probably wouldn’t have thought to include; you’d probably only get this effect in a real studio with real lights and real wine bottles.
And as “flaws” in photos go, this is way cooler than, say, an errant lens flare.
Again, this is my personal amateur view, and I know a lot of professional studio photographers don’t share my opinion about this.
Wow this is a classy photo critic comment and the best reply ever. Now I can learn something that “flaw” for me can be an interesting point for someone. Thank you, Josy, you injected me with new knowledge about asymmetry interpretation
Great shot.
Thank you
Very creative and well shot!!
