Black and white. It looks more clear than the one with selective color. Usually everything that is b&w looks sharper, at this point bottle, even a lot. Sepia is way too light and deconcentrating. B&W gives the whole feeling, it`s dark and gloomy, what fits the overall composition. Besides the editing - it`s a pretty decent shot :) Although could be blurried a little bit more on the background, to focus more on the `whiskey` :D

Yea, I tried to get it a little blurry but behind me is about 3 feet then a wall and on either side is a drop so I couldn't bring the camera and the bottle back any farther and the lowest F-Stop I can get is 3.5.

Just FYI, it's black berry brandy.

Selective coloring is the best imo!!

This picture is so good and could almost be perfect to be used as a sensibilisation ad against alcoholism....
It is really intense and dramatic!

Haha, thanks.. I thought about that picture and put the little above the influence sign on it, but then I screwed it up and didn't save it, oh well..

Maybe they will see it and buy the picture from me, that'd be nice..
