A neat table top image, Jim. I could never seem to get the lighting right for these type of setup shots. The lighting works very well throughout this image. As a suggestion, I might slightly blur the front right edge of the wine glass base. Making it a bit more fuzzy as the rest of the base area would be worth another look. Just a thought. Either way.....a good take on this wonderful wine glass.

Paul, it's the miracle of window light! We have a few spots in the house that work well at certain times of the day. I have an ancient Polaroid camera I'll be doing for an upcoming WC theme.
Thanks for taking a look!

I'm with Paul on this one, Jim. My eye moves from the "bowl" of the glass to the OOF bottle. The only thing that distracts is the in focus bit of the table on the bottom left of the frame, and maybe a touch at the bottom right. Keep the window.

That's a beautiful wine glass, Jim, with great figure in the wood. The window lighting works very well.

Paul and Jerry, I'm thinking I'll stack the sharpended image on top of an unsharpened one and erase sections of the top layer to reveal the unsharpened lower layer in the lower corners, which I think would take the edge off the table. I appreciate the suggestion!
Mark, thanks for taking a look!

Very cool glass. Great grains and color. Real nice tabletop image of it, too. Very nicely lit. I would also agree with the blurring suggestion. I also might tone down the highlights along the right edge of the frame (bottle), maybe with a gradient mask, to keep my attention in the frame rather than pulling it out.

This is a unique wine glass (for sure) and it has been showcased really well in this photograph. However, what makes the image all the more interesting to me is the inclusion of the bottle in the background. I wonder if it was a party where lots of people were present or it was a more intimate setting involving just one person enjoying a drink in solitude. I love images of this nature because they allow my mind to wander as I take in the scene.
Really well done, Jim.

This is a nice table top still life. The color and details in the goblet look great. I agree with Harley's suggestion about using a gradient mask on the lable.
