Nice job -- the best measure of success for hard work is that the result looks "easy."
Nicki Thurgar22-Feb-2009 13:48
Er, yeah, OK... well you got a good result for all your hard work!
Russ Rose22-Feb-2009 05:27

I like the effect of the background, it looks like your on a train and its flying past a field of rape seed oil.
Yvonne21-Feb-2009 05:20
You'd better open the bottle now Phillip! A superb shot, wonderful lighting &
even a yellow background, no stones unturned for this shot!

Sounds like your list has merged with a Delia recipe! Excellent work Philip. Well done

Dedication reaps its rewards - cheers! Chris
Denise J. Johnson20-Feb-2009 21:19
Wow! Quite an elaborate setup! Well worth it too! My two questions are:
1. Why was the chocolate box empty?
2. What did you use the olive oil for?

Nice shot, Phillip. Colors are great. Now go enjoy your wine. :)
Máire Uí Mhaicín20-Feb-2009 21:10
Impressive image. And I've learned some new vocabulary as well. Enjoy your drink of vin rouge this Friday evening.
Ric Yates20-Feb-2009 20:42
Great lighting - worth the effort!
Doug Cruden20-Feb-2009 20:34
Ooo, there's even some yellow in the shirt!! Great shot, great dedication and deserved praise, Phil...wish I had just a smidge of your photgraphical work ethic at the end of the week!! Enjoy your glass (or two...)
Guest 20-Feb-2009 20:33
That lemony yellow I like very much. Really nice portrait and worth all the effort
Linda Willets20-Feb-2009 20:27
great sp and yellow
Ian Chappell20-Feb-2009 20:15
there is an easier way.. put a pound coin in the slot, draw the curtain and smile - not quite the same though is it!!
Nancy Lobaugh20-Feb-2009 20:01
...and the first bottle of wine was so that you'd have a smile on your face while eagerly waiting to open the 2nd? :-0
Guest 20-Feb-2009 19:56
Nailed the lighting again!!!! Great work.
