Bill Wilson - Crit 4 - Recipe



The wine glasses photo was voted as the picture of the week.  Several people mentioned this photo having the deepest memory, with feelings of awkwardness and mystery associated with a “first date” (interestingly it wasn’t taken on a date, but at a business meeting).

I tried to capture the split between the red wine and white wine, and if you split the photo diagonally from top left to bottom right, there is a clear division between the darker red and lighter white/yellow colors (not just the wine, but the color and tone of the surrounding atmosphere).  I basically just got lucky that I noticed this, and I didn't stage it that way.

I took 3 or 4 similar photos and this ended up being the best one, most of them captured too much of the room and it lost the meaning.  From an editing standpoint, I used a color boost filter to make the colors more pronounced, but only subtly so.  There is the tiniest bit of blurring in the photo.
