Not bad; the second looks pretty good. Just a bit missing image right.

I updated that shot with a new, improved one. I think this takes care of that.

This shot also didn't have that glass piece below, hence the OOF reflection.

Nice!

Thanks, John.

Here's another glass, same setup. I've found this setup doesn't work too well for champagne flutes, though...

I think the first one is too high key. You've almost lost the edge of the glass near the top.

The second one is much nicer and has better definition of the glass.

That's why it's an experiment. Thanks, I've been working on this quite diligently over the weekend.
