Great Photo, would you care to share how you made it...???
Sure vooda, I'd be happy to. I used a Canon 5D2, a Canon 100mm Macro II f/2.8L IS, 100 iso, f/2.8, 1/2 second. I have a black muslin backdrop and the wine glass was sitting on a 2'x4' sheet of black Lexan plexiglass from ebay. Lighting was with a 100 watt daylight CFL bulb shot through a white umbrella about six feet back on the right at a 45 degree angle and a small led variable adjustable video light on the left side. Shot in Raw, processed with Canon Digital Photo Professional software, slightly fine tuned with PS Elements then put through Smart Photo Editor to give it a very slight quasi-hdr effect. My basement is very dark. If there's anything else you want to know, please feel free to ask.

Very well done and a well composed image. I looked through the entries and found that most of them were of close-ups of flowers, yours was truly a still life. Congratulations!

Thank you, MagicFad. My grandpappy raised hogs when I growing up in Arkansas. I learned early on that it's often very hard to herd a big bunch of hogs. :)
