    It really was some of your work that inspired me to rethink about how to use lighting. The Avon decanter just happen to be the right subject for the lighting- A row of led's behind the crown molding inside my RV!) it was way too cold outside so I used my RV as a photo studio.

Oh my goodness! Years ago I sold Avon and I have a huge collection of the bottles that they used to do filled with Mens cologne ! This jaguar is beautiful and you have photographed it well with good focus, this image is clear, I like the way the light comes through the glass!
Well composed and presented! Thank you for sharing this!

    Filled with what I presume it the original contents, Avon's Deep Woods aftershave. It smell like cheap air freshener and soap mixed together. Makes for a cool decoration but I sure the heck ain't gonna use it!

I like what you've done here to create this shot of the wonderful E Type Jag - we used to own one of these many years ago - great fun to go for a drive in but not so much fun to drive for me at any rate - my husband used to drive most of the time! I like the lighting in this shot - very imaginative. Great composition. Suzanne

    Thanks so much. The lighting is a row of small LED's behind some crown molding inside my RV. It was way too cold today to be outside so I opted for some indoor shots instead.

A good looking shot posted here! Your intriguing image benefits from being well composed with good exposure and sharpness. Colours and tones are good. Well created!

    Thanks, Nick! I read online how that the English car enthusiast are not too keen on this 4-seater model especially in the American version. Can't say I have ever seen a real one in person but at least I can say I own a Jaguar!
