An ornate bottle stopper that I use when drinking red wine - that’s if there’s any left!

Shot with the Sigma 105mm, manual mode f/11 at 1/500th sec. The SB800 was used to the left of the pic to give a subtle flash effect with the main light from the right with a Panaflash. A mode used on SB800.

I really like the complexity of the subject and the simplicity of the lighting. It could have done with a wash Chris.

I like the added red ring around the cork.

EDIT: I forgot to add how much i like the white balance too. It's spot on. The colours look true to life. The red stain looks like a Cab Sauv/Shiraz blend.

Shame on you Chris. I won't be touching my Kalimna 2001 for another 4 years or so. I hope you have a few more bottles.
