Default Wine in Candlelight

I basically wanted to see how I could shoot with just a single small lit candle and how well I can still retain the form of my subject. Just for fun of course.

Personally I think I was able to capture just enough of the edge of both the wine bottle and the glass so our minds can fill in the missing parts. Especially the right side of the wine bottle.



...basically I needed a photo for the day and having a glass (or two...) of wine didn't hurt either.

I really like what you did here. There is just enough to let tell the story, allowing your mind to fill in the blanks.

I like this as well as how the wine label adds light to the photograph by means of indirect reflection...wouldn't see much of anything without it
