Mysterious

Entered into this weeks challenge " Mysterious "

An old Whisky miniature rescued from my Aunts house. I think its about 1920's but thats not the real Mystery.

The real mystery is. If I drank all this tonight would I be here in the morning? Probably not.

I had a right mess on with this one and I'm still not sure if the results are worth it. A torch light shining through an orange filter between the cracks in the logs. Then a toilet tube strapped to my flash gun with a sepia filter over it for the spotlight effect.

I suppose the second mystery is. Why did I bother? You can tell its raining outside can't you?

That's some old whiskey and quite the mystery of what it would taste like. I don't think I'd chance it.

It's gorgeous. Well done....

Great shot for the challenge. Very cool lighting effects add mystery to this. I'm very curious how the whiskey tastes after 80+ years.

Great light. No mystery it would be a good shot!
