A study of light and shadow...

[FadderUri]

... and a bit of luminence. Any comments? Shot with flood lighting and a hand-held piece of cardboard to give the shadow at the bottom of the frame.

This composition and lighting has poential, but it somewhat ruined by the technical faults. It's not sharp enough, somewhat grainy (?), tilted a bit, etc. I can see that you were tryng to be creative in the angle of the dark foreground. Although this could have worked, it doesn't - I'm not sure why, but it has a sliding feel to it, like the glass is going to tip over ( too many drinks? ;|~ ).

This shot is worth a re-shoot: try getting the same items together and fix the above items, and also try to increase the contrast just a tad. I think that if redone properly you will have an excellant shot.

It appears as if you have lost focus on the front lip of the glass and the very front beads(?).

Re-shot this last night, and changed the focus to the lip of the glass. I'll re-post the new pic as soon as I get the film back from the lab... hopefully tomorrow.

Part Deux. Hopefully, better quality. I was unable to duplicate the shadow, due to a lack of time to hunt up the shade.
