Philly, this is just absolutely gorgeous! All of your artistic experience shows, and demonstrates that learning to see is the most important part of photography.

Ditto on what everyone else has said, this is just beautiful. I love that all the bottles are green, too! Wonderful image, surely a finalist.
Oh Beverly, that means a lot coming from you! I'd love to be a finalist, but great feedback from the Pros is enough for me. Thank you so much!

Very nicely composed Philly. I like the varying DOF of the 3 bottles. Great lighting too.
Thanks, Tom! I'm really trying to learn some of the techniques you Pros employ, but I know I have a long way to go. Your compliments, and encouragement, are invaluable and I really appreciate you.

Great DOF and colors. I really like the effect in the background what did you use?
Thank you, Howard! The same fabric, seen in the foreground, extends up and behind the bottles, and is actually a white table cloth. I loved the texture/pattern in contrast to the smoothness of the glass.
Thank you for noticing one of my favorite things about the shot. The way the pattern looked in the far background was a happy accident.

Thank you, Patty! I have a huge collection of teal colored glass, and it's nice to find someone else who loves the color. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate you!
Exquisite shot, Philly! Not only is the color of the bottles beautiful but the whole photo has a wonderful atmosphere of femininity. Perfect take on the WA! Bravo!
A very appealing arrangement that works well. I'm sure you tried a number of different perspectives Philly before deciding on this image. However, I wondered how it would look if the bottle on the left overlapped the rear one slightly to give the picture more connectivity. This could also have the effect of the rounded shaped front bottle complementing the lower curve of the left bottle more so than it does at present. Hope this makes sense. Feel free to tell me if you think I'm totally wrong (I have a thick skin).
