Toasting the Sun by taffy

Toasting the Sun

Thinking a lot about sun flare for the CSC-29 (and please think about tsubmitting!!!). Thinking about this week's mundane challenge which is glass. Cleaning up the kitchen after dinner and thinking I don't have a new photo from today. Look outside (duh) Grab almost empty and no longer drinkable bottle of wine and pour into a glass. Not much left so add a little water. Head outside and have some photo fun. Download and narrow choice to two photos. Then decide to post them both (see other one at http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-07-08).
Thank you all for your wonderful comments and support of my obsessive attempt to do light painting! And for your comments on the fireworks -- it was on PP for a nano-second earlier today. On reflection, these also fit the ONS5 challenge for travel since Beaver Island sunsets help make this a vacation destination.
And try some flares this week!!! Tag CSC-29.
I do like the other one better...not sure why exactly. Maybe the proximity of the sun to the glass - the nearness. They both are very pretty and this one has some flare :)

Very pretty too..but I think I prefer the other one also...But if I hadn't seen the other one ....well it is lovely!

...the only thing wrong with this is I'm not in the photo ;-) Great looking shot!
July 9th, 2013  
I like them both but do like the other one best!
July 9th, 2013  
Gorgeous shot with lovely Sun flare! I really like this Taffy but I think the other one is my favourite!

Love the sun flare and the colour. Off to look at the other one......
July 9th, 2013  
love the star burst you've captured, terrific shot
July 9th, 2013  
Like this one too, more airy and perhaps a little more atmospheric shot but I love the other one more!

the golden tones are beautiful - I love wine glasses - but then I love wine so it sort of figures :)
July 9th, 2013  
This one works well too. I like the foliage and the extra definition in the starburst effect in the sun.
July 9th, 2013  
This is beautiful. Good job on the sunburst also.
July 9th, 2013  
Very pretty!
July 9th, 2013  
Just beautiful, love the light.

The sun flare on this is gorgeous! :)

Thanks Al, Jennifer, Elisabeth, Terri, Kazzy, and Annie -- I'm glad you liked it. Annie, I agree, love of wine, love of wine glass photo -- it definitely goes together!

@vankrey @eyesmile @tealgarciaphotography @pamknowler @mikegifford
Thanks Michael, Gena, Teal, Pam, and Mike! I tend to agree that this comes in second to the other one. Mike -- I loved your comment about your being in the shot improving it!!

@rachelwithey @ness50 @susale Thanks Rachel, Vanessa, and Susale -- for taking the time to view and comment. I think this one, Rachel, is the only one with real sun flare.

Love the flare and glow here too, but I almost think this one would work better (albeit flare-less) if it was just the bottom half ...
July 10th, 2013  
Very nice! I agree with @archaeofrog, the bottom half would look good.
July 10th, 2013  
@taffy I'll drink to that!
July 10th, 2013  
Just beautiful
July 10th, 2013  
I like how you set the glass where sun and water effect with this shot.
July 10th, 2013  
I love it*)FAV*)
