Oh this is for the contest! I approved it and I didn't even realize (I was wondering what you were talking about with that pop bottle comment!) This is something really different, I think it's a great image. Into the contest gallery it goes!
PS could you please note which starter image you used as per the contest rules, thanks.
pretty good arrangement, interesting shapes-- you gotta be careful with B&W, and this one is having major contrast images-- way too light! you can fix that easy. i like it.
excellent, looked through all the contest pics, and this was the top one in my opinion. i know a lot of people dont like light backgrounds, but this one is great
