That looks lovely Andrea

A fantastic still life Andrea.

Fine photography.

Lovely packaging and I like your setup!

lovely shot !!!

I love it!!

Great bottles, super pics!!

Love the beads around the neck of the bottle. What a great touch!

Very nice work Andrea! I really like the use of back-lighting and the hints of foreground reflections here!

Great lighting here Andrea, I like the light gradient on the wall behind the cap.

Great shots of these fancy perfume bottles, the scent producers should be paying you money for the way you capture their products so well. Well done.

I've got to ask, are those dogs on either side of the heart on the bottle? for some reason, if I were to buy a bottle of perfume for a lady, I think I would steer clear of one that had a title like this Great presentation

Looks very expensive, nice shot.

A totally pro look to your shot, well done! It's nice to know we still keep the remaining hippies happy!

hehe, sounds very hippie and looks great! scent of patchouli?? ;-)

The large bottle in both photos are fantastic - I would like the FlickR version on my chest of draws!

Superb capture Andrea. God bless.

Wow, the "non-hippie" version is regally captured, with straight posture and much pomp. This is captured more casually---though the bottle has a regal crest on it (along with beads and tassels: a real contrast). But yes, this one speaks more of play---esp in the blue-green 'casual' lettering. "Couture" comes from a root for "sew," and it meant "to sew things together". But, in typical French transformation, it became synonymous with "style". ("Savoir Faire"---from "sapere facere," "the knowledge of how to 'make' things" ((facere/factory/manufacture, etc))---moved from "know-how" to "Class". That's very French.) I've never heard "juicy" and "couture" in the same sentence, and it makes a good selling point. You've got gold background and lighting, which is perfect for both shots because it gives a gold patina to the bottle and perfume. And the peach-hued box is contrasted well, by your putting it at an angle to the bottle. (In the other shot, everyone's lined up formally, in the same direction.) And you've got the tassels off to the side, like a scarf in winter. Another example of how good you are at placement and capturing the spirit of your bottle photography. A fun shot, but very keen. (And I like how they turned the center-circle into a heart---with a peace sign inside! Good product design!) (You probably knew---speaking of tassels 'off to the side'---that, in the 19th C, men would spend an hour or two to tie their cravats so they looked "thrown on". You probably knew that, but I didn't until a few years ago. They wanted so much to look "unkempt, natural, blown-by-the-wind," they worked assiduously to get those scarves to look "free"...The problem with cravats (and similar designs) in current men's wear, is that most modern men's wear is sheer, simple, smooth; and the cravat looks too artsy when combined...at least to my eyes. ((Effected. Ascots can look that way too, to me.)) But with the shirts of THOSE days, with their pleats and breast-high seams, and billowed sleeves, and big floppy collars? The cravat fit right in. How ties came out of all that is amazing...Anyway, the tassels here reminded me a bit of cravats, so I went on. It's a wild little touch for a perfume bottle...)
