I would think that if you were to chill the glass before hand so that there wont be a 'line' of condensation on it, it would be better.

table wine? to treat yourself get grand cru

bg is messy

i think the condensation is very important for this shot

great to see that you are enjoying

i think the background is a bit noisy.

i am not sure of the composition though. if your composition consists of 2 main objects- the glass and the bottle, you need to make sure what kind of DOF you use and what is in focus. the glass appears larger because of its width and yet it is oof making a slightly uneasy photo. if it is was the larger bottle

and a smaller glass, then i think this composition would be much better.

i think DOF in second shot is too shallow, even the edges of the bottle are not in focus. either that, or you could use some sharpening.

sorry for so many comments, i know this is not critique corner...

btw enjoy

The positioning of the bottle cap is very uncomfortable to me. It draws my attention immediately and I keep wondering when it's going to fall off and give that "kwek kwek" sound on the glass table. I'd rather it not be in the composition at all. But that's just me.

hmm haha yeah. now that i look at it. i think its too big. :P too far front of the pic. thanks! will take note.

oh...and ppl, pls DO NOT buy this wine. its vin de table, so its the lowest grade of all. but still....it is baddd. the alcohol smell is too strong, overpowers the palate. it tastes like water and and leaves a bad aftertaste. eek. i thought jacobs creek was bad. but i think this is worse.
