To much for choice!

Another day, another blip.
Found todays blip in the kitchen (as there is normally lots in the kitchen with a bit of movement and cleaning can be turned into a nice photo), resting on top of the fridge.

Normally they are contained in a basket which i originally did but i found that it wasn't partially appealing.

A couple of minutes later sun started shining through the window through the tree outside which i thought gave a nice mix of highlights and shadows and arranged the bottles in a way so they were all visible to the camera and didn't look to cluttered.

Found that the table added nicely to the image as it made the contence of the bottles appear more warm, but due to the way light works completely unfocused or recognisable.

Had to get a bit of extra light in to get the shot how i wanted it, turned on a handy nearby lamp and placed out of frame to give a more warm touch and used a bounced flash to illuminate the contence of the bottles more clear to the camera.

Enjoy.

---Post Production---
Cropped in to get rid of blank space to the left which was too distracting.
Darkened reds / Oranges to give a warmer feel and slightly increased the temp of the image.

Than added a very minor gradient across the bottles from start to finishing with a slight saturation increase and a minor brightness decrease to give a more even balance and to additionly bring more attention to the lead bottle in focus.

Than changed the sharpness for the front section to ensure that the closest stuff stood out but at the same time didn't want the bottles towards the back getting sharper and appearing more focused.

Finally added a very very light white vinaigrette around the image to give it a more 'Homely' feel to it.
