Practicing with flash and constant light. The idea was the blacken the background and isolate the subject. The other good thing, drinking the subject afterwards.

nice shot and good strategy

That's a nice looking shot John. Especially on the left , you've lost the back edge of the dark part of body of the bottle against the black background, but apart from that , quite nice.

Thanks guys and Norm you are right. I was fighting blackening the background vs light leak in the stuff behind the bottle. I'll work with my light a little more.

Here's my other example. I like the highlights in the bottle in this one.

I like this shot, but I would suggest a lens correction to straighten the light standard at the left - unless that is how it looks in real life.
