I'm working on a series of empty whisky bottles - sort of a farewell to whiskies that I've enjoyed. I haven't done much still life so this is an interesting learning process. Thanks to Gert for giving a great tip on lighting this type of shots!

Very cool shot Jarmo. The distortion through the glass is excellent, IMO it makes the photo. The only thing I might like to see is a tighter crop. Not so much at the sides but perhaps about half[or less] as much white space above the bottle.

Cheers,

Nice work, Jarmo. Beautiful still life well composed. Good idea with set of this glass on the front of this bottle, because it give a kind of abstract, beside this glass also creat an interesting shape on the bottle. However in my opinion maybe you should try to a little bit more work with set of light, because there are some areas on bottle where the glass bottle blend with background, especially on the left side of photo. Anyway good idea and execution. Thank you for sharing. Regards, Michal.

Empty, what a good idea! Great picture. I think that the positioning of glass to the bottle is perfect. Nice work.
