i will let you in on a secret. i have more than five thousand photos on 365 but you won't find a shot like this. that's because i've been purposely avoiding shooting something like this. why? because the few times i tried it's always been an epic fail. no matter that i follow the lighting instructions i still get those ugly reflections. in twelve years photographing experience, i will admit, this is the best i've done this, and i'm not happy. now don't be scolding me. i'm not being hard on myself. it's just that i know what my strengths are, and this is not one of them. so why am i posting this? because i have nothing else.🤣
and as the great Thomas Edison once said, "i have not failed, i just found ten thousand ways that won't work."
have a good night, everyone.

belatedly tagging this for the peter forsgard 52 assignments. for this week, it is black and white. come to think of it, i could tag the whole week for this prompt. maybe i will. or maybe i will not.😜
Not to worry- I have tried a thousand times to do refraction shots- oil and otherwise- and like you have decided the technique is not for me- I like looking at other people's shots, but mine are awful. However, unlike you, I am no longer brave enough to post them- I resort to annfoolery instead! Good try!
I am struggling to find anything wrong with this one. Your composition is spot on and you’re execution is as well as far as I’m concerned this one gets a FAV
First of all, I think you did very well here. It’s a well thought out and well executed image. Secondly, this is what makes 365 so great. We are constantly challenged to leave our comfort zone and try something new. I know myself I have tried techniques I never would have done without the inspiration of this community. 365 is, as you are fond of saying, aces!
As Kathy says... what's wrong with this? Only you know what you had in mind. So I shall let it be. I think it is a terribly well thought and executed photograph.
That Tom has a point!
Oh yes, I see what you mean - when I enlarged it a thousand percent! It's beauful! And all those perfect ones you have seen? Photoshopped! They cheated!!
Lovely composition, great balance and my only real critique is that all those wine glasses are empty! SO! Fill one up, celebrate your fab photo. Cheers x
Looks pretty good to me. So when you have your fancy photographic studio and expensive equipment you can repeat this but for now settle for the great result that you have achieved.
Lovely set up Vikki. I know what you mean about those pesky reflections. I've even tried shooting in near dark in an attempt to avoid them. I think Jackie @30pics4jackiesdiamond hit the nail on the head.
That Tom has a point!
