Critique Wine and Snakes

[Mike Buckley]

I've never been a fan of Pinotage but every once in awhile I try one just to see if my taste might have changed enough to like it. This one has only 14% alcohol, which at least is a good start.

Setup
The background and tabletop are two pieces of white presentation board. A medium continuous-light lamp on the right and above the subject lit the overall scene. A small one on the left front lit the foreground snake.

Mike, I somehow knew this was your post by the title! I can feel the snake's desire for that bottle of wine! Great black and white.

Beautifully presented, Mike!
Nice idea to add the snake.

Title grabbed me. Wonderful B&W

Interesting presentation Mike! That bottle is so nice that IMO it would also make a great photo without the snake .
