This is gorgeous! I really like how well the glass picked up the reflections of the room. The lighting is just so nice. The textures are also very lovely. Makes me hungry and thirsty :) Looks great! Well deserved win!

Very impressive still life with lots of extra fine details and rich inviting warm colors. It so realistic it make me hungry and thirsty for wine and cheese. I especially like the way you captured the reflection of room beyond in the crystal glass, which is full with the rich red wine. What a perfect and most elegant touch.

Beautiful still life! I love the vignetting that really showcases your lovely indulgences. The reflection in the wine glass opens up depth and dimension to the shot as we can see into the room reflected. I also love the reflections on the table's rich surface and all the edged textures throughout. Great colors.

I am certain who's work this is and congratulations on the contest black. Very nice concept/idea and placing it together. Really nice dof, focus, lighting and clarity. The reflections in the glass are clean and clear. First thought, this is on a table, then on the floor with backdrop touching the wood two sides but then a table in a corner. Appears 3D with the crackers, the wine in the glass and there are crumbs too. Very nice work, good luck with the contest and thanks for sharing.

When I first saw this, I thought it was a very realistic painting. I really like realism with glass. The technique you used with this photo - whatever it is - is very nice.
