    Default Ease Strained Relations

    Need a little help to ease tensions with that special someone?

    An exercise in rendering glass. I decided to put it into some kind of context, though I don't know anything about advertising or marketing. I'm not too clear on how to render glass. Still working on it.

    (Personally, I can't handle perfumes or colognes. My allergies, you know. Besides, a lot of people apply waaaay too much!)

    Me either Ron, but I think what you did looks very good.

    Nice image Ron. If you want to learn about glass and how it is photographed, do a search and look at the images.

    For example https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Perfume+bo...ffsb&ia=images

    Excellent Ron. I particularly like the bottle shadow.

    Beautiful image and funny! The accent on the e should point the other way though, or was that an intentional marketing decision by the parfumeur?

    Everything looks great, Ron.

    The only thing that seems a bit strange to me, is the shine in the middle of the bottle.
    The rest of the bottle is really great.

    Thanks Larry. We're alike.

    Gary, thanks and yes I've been doing just that. Still haven't quite got the hang of creating my very own glass bottle and feeling like I nailed it. The sample here is of my own originality, so I was winging it.

    Thanks Eric.

    Boy, you're right. I really don't know how I managed that. I guess I punched in the wrong character code.

    Rik, I agree. Here's another attempt at it. Let me know what you think. I think it has less interference with the couple's silhouette.

    Again, another good pointer. Thanks, Larry.

    I decided a spray bottle doesn't work for a man's cologne, even though this product is supposed to be unisex. Hence, I replaced that with a screw on lid for a "splash" cologne, although it should be used sparingly.
