The first one is especially nice. I really like the drama of it.
Try getting at least a little separation between the edges of the bottle and the background. You could do that by brightening either the bottle or the background before converting to black-and-white.
Really like the first one, all you need is a burning sigar to finish it off.![]()
Mike, Donald & Gary...thanks for the comments.
I will have to work on the edges a little bit, thanks for reminding me Mike.
Donald, I kinda like this toning also...it is really starting to grow on me. Thanks.
The only problem with the burning cigar idea is the fact that this was taken inside the house, and my wife would end up taking a chunk of my butt for lighting up in the house![]()
An interesting series of shots Jon. I like the way the edges of the glass disappears in shot #2.
Well done!![]()
