I love the clarity of the stem in the second one. I can understand why you're so proud of them. Both beautiful. Biophilic Nov 28 #1

Thanks, my dear Biophilic! CaliforniaPeggy Nov 28 #3

Yup, I understand. But for me the bubbles are "fun" but the clarity of the stem is really "peaceful." Biophilic Nov 28 #6

True dat! CaliforniaPeggy Nov 28 #7

The top one with the bubbles... 3catwoman3 Nov 28 #2

I like the tones in the bottom one. What made you think of that angle? brush Nov 28 #10

Well, I was just sitting there, looking at those bubbles, trying to figure out how to catch them! CaliforniaPeggy Nov 28 #11

The stem is beautifully clear, but I like the appearance of the wine more! Something about the bubbles and the textures.

Different views is what makes photography fun and interesting.

I don't think they were from condensation, though I'm not sure. I just knew that I had to capture them and I was thrilled to be able to do it.

More contrast, love the light in the middle of the glass and the clarity of the stem!

It's turning out to be my favorite one too, although the first one is also special!

The angle just occurred to me and I tried it. And it worked! Somehow, when I take photos, I try to see all the ways I can get what I see in my mind's eye. The more you do it, the better you get!

I just kept messing with it until I really liked what I saw.

That's how I got there! Thanks for asking, my dear brush.
