I recommend using a different angle. Particularly a lower one so we can see the street and anything on the street as well. That way it would look like litter in an urban area. Right now it might be on the street or maybe not.

Thumbs up

I love the contrast between the smooth bottle and rough background.

Thanks. I chose that angle intentionally, as I just liked the contrast of the shot and the way it looked - although I do understand what you are suggesting. I tried what you said this morning, although the lighting was not really to my liking. When I get it from the camera I will post it - but this is not an urban area so the bottle was the only thing on the street - that is sort of why I took the shot, you don't normally see junk like that around here.

Is that you at the bottom of the bottle? I can figure some reflection there!

You have a good eye for detail. That is infact me to the lower right. I had to really zoom in on the original to verify that.
