Here's two photos from last night that I'm especially fond of:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I like them both, for different reasons. Do YOU have a favorite?

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

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Thanks, my dear Biophilic!

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

[Biophilic]

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

Different views is what makes photography fun and interesting.

7. True dat!

2. The top one with the bubbles...

…or maybe it’s condensation.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thank you, my dear 3catwoman3!

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.

5. Love the color of the second one!

Cheers!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Thanks so much, my dear MLAA!

I'm with you on the color! It's glorious.

9. Second One

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

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thanks so much, my dear EarthAbides!

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

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

[CaliforniaPeggy]

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

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.
