I was playing around the other day after a trip to a wine farm and i just took this pictures. A friend loved it so much they enlarged it for their kitchen. I did not think it was so great. Please let me know what you think. www.flickr.com/photos/23095975@N07/2214258436/

Hi Tas and welcome to the group. I see that your posting has had several viewings but no comments thus far. It may be that is because you are using thumbnail links. I would encourage you to use flickr or similar posting site (see the sticky at the head of this forum) so that a viewable image is available within your posting. Thanks for your consideration.

Hi, thank you and thank you for the advice

The idea and the composition are good but the built-in flash makes the shot so-so.
It could have been way better with "natural" lighting, if you got any : sunlight from a window, or artificial lighting, both placed thoroughly left or right to model the bottles shapes.
Or even an off-camera flash, but this is another story ;-)

If you have the opportunity to reshoot with a different lighting scheme, I think the picture would be fabulous, because of the repeating pattern and the colors.
Try also to open your diaphragm to f/4.5 (I'm guessing you have the 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5) to yield a more blurred background.
