Cool Dark Cowboy

i guess this how the films show how cowboys usedto relax.. some people stil do relax like this. not me tho'
i seldom drink, and cant stand the smell of cigarettes.... looking forward to that bottle of wine though

i found the pack of smokes while at the park with my sons, i bought a bottle of wine so i could do some more product shots *cough cough* then combined the two and came up with this.

i dont have much time this week, so this will have to do.
busy busy busy!


click the pic to read the how i did it.

Dark Cowboy - 9/52

Excellent setup dark cowboy(candleman). You have the lighting just right. I don't know if cowboys had such soft looking hands though

Back to black, Jared!
For a cowboy I would have gone for whisky, though (that's the stereotype I have for cowboys); with wine you look to me a señorito andaluz, kindof Spanish cowboy.
About light, you nail it, as always.

You came up with the goods once again candleman.

yup! back to black.
i looked for a black permanent marker to write xXx on the bottle.. but one of the kids must have swallowed it.
agreed with the wisky.. but to a badass cowboy.. a bottle of turps is just as good.
turps would have been more expensive than this wine tho

thanks Ana, much appreciated.

Very nice! Love the lighting too. Do you usually take home random tobacco products from the park . . . ?
