Default Light Painting - Is it to busy?


Its hard to tell you the exif data as it is several photos merged into one, but as the rules ask for them here you are

Exif Data for the bottle:
Camera: Nikon D3000 Standard lens kit
Shutter: 1/25
ISO: 100
Aperture: F/22
Focal Length: 18mm
Flash: On (Flash compensation -3.0) [I didn't want to much flash as it would reduce glares on the glass]

For the light painting the settings were the same apart from:
Shutter: 10 Seconds
Aperture: F/11
Flash: None

I have a couple of questions to ask you:
Do you think the light painting is to busy?
Do you think the lighting of the bottle is good?

Looking at the photo now I can see a few things I don't like, for example the glare on the bottle lid and the label looks really dark.

I really like this! The glare doesn't bother me at all. Although I'm not sure about the white circle in the center..if you got rid of that I think it would be perfect (:

I do not think it is too busy. I like the pattern.
I would burn down the hot points of light on the right.
I also think the bottle is perhaps a little dark at the top and bottom... especially if the light is glowing near the bottom I seem to want to see more light on the bottle label at that area.

I do like the light coming through the bottom of the bottle, it matches the light stream below it.

I'm torn on the circle. I like it. Oddly the bottle neck is pink where it should be clear/white since a white object it behind it.

I agree about the glare not being a problem. It shows the object has dimension and texture.

Don't think it's too busy at all, and the glare isn't an issue, and if anything makes the image better. Two things I don't like: The plate in the background, is generally fine, but the neck looks bad because of it. Also, don't like how the trail goes right to the edge of the image in the left side. I think it'd help if you left a little black, even just a cm or so, at that edge, to keep it away from the border.
