I sort of like the incongruity of a modern looking bottle with pseudo(?) wet-plate processing.

Without the processing, I think this would be a nothing image. The light's too symmetrical, the bottle is just there in the middle of the frame doing nothing visually interesting, there's hot spots all over the place. With the processing, you get a somewhat interest vintage.. but not... thing going on.

BTW jenko, kudos to you for dealing with your addiction! Seen too many tragedies involving people who haven't.

Thank you, appreciate that!

Thank you. You make some good points about the processing in relationship to the flaws of the image.
