Sorry Duncan that I'm not clear, what I was trying to say is that it is your extra touches that makes them so good and makes them stand out for me from the run of the mill wine in a glass shot. There are many technically excellent shots out there as Alex says, but as he also points out many are fads that will not stand the test of time. For me those two wine glass shots do stand out and will continue so to do. Ben suggests breaking down the walls of predictability and for me this means we should step outside our comfort zones when we look at some pictures, and we should also dare to be different. Whether the "looking outside the box" by Al is a photograph or a piece of digital art or graphic design is always going to be a matter of personal decision but we should all always be prepared to push the envelope from time to time. Stepping out of our comfort zone can be dangerous but also exciting, fun and stimulating. I've been racking my brains over how you can better those wine glass shots - no doubt you have something up your sleeve - but I suppose I'll have to wait and see
