An exercise (for me that is) in using Layers and Blending modes in PS

Wonderful light and soft tones, a tad over use of the 'sparkle' but a good exercise

nicely done. great tones and very soft...perfect!!

Hi Ian,
A great exercise with good use of candle light, I agree about the use of sparkle. What was the liquid used in the decanter and glass? It looks a little too cloudy to be wine or brandy. Maybe turn the decanter slightly to add depth, rather than a full frontal shot.
Regards....Phil

If it moves shoot it. If it doesn't move, still shoot it.

congrats with the layering...i wouldn't be able to tell...This is lovely and like the light coming in from the top right. I have one suggestion. The reflection of light at the very bottom is a disturbing glare...(I know this may be painful for you) just scrool so that the bottom comes right to the bottom of the pink candle reflection. I think it really quiets the image down, for I find my eye keep coming back to that big white reflection at the very bottom

Thank you all for your comments. I will spend the next day or so putting them into practice

The liquid in both was cold tea. The Wine and Brandy were inside me Phil


again many thanks

Ian

Very pretty tones and I like the lighting.. Have to agree about a little too much sparkles.. Still a grand photo.

I see these sparkles every time I smile at my beautiful face in the mirror and smile (don't say a word Mr.Nrs!!)

Love the composition and the whole 'clean' feel to the shot. Great job mate! Make mine a large one (again.....say nothing Mr.Nrs )
