207 - Alcohol

Theme 121.

Photobucket

I was introduced to Disaronno by Amanda, at her May weekend houseparty, and I bought a bottle. I tried taking this theme's photos Friday night I think, but the lighting was too bad. I remembered I liked this composition, but had been let down by the lighting, so yesterday when I had a push on photos for themes, I redid this one. I preferred the colour one as you can see the rich amber colour of the alcohol, but the focus on the botle top wasn't quite right, and was a little fuzzy. This black and and white one was sharp though, so I've used this!

It's an Italian liqueur, tastes a bit like almonds and although I tried a shot of it neat at Amanda's party, I normally drink it with Coke now.

Yes, you are right, this photo is spot on. Beautiful composition!

It is beautiful, especially with the B&W and the "vertical" shallow DOF. Very nicely done Helen.

Nice shot - the DOF is perfect for this.

I think it looks great in B&W. I agree with Mia, it's has beautiful composition!

I've never heard of it before, I'll have to try it sometime. :]

You did a great job composing this and making the dof work for you. I like how the name is in focus at the top and out of focus at the bottom.
