That home is pretty, lynn I only saw 4 pics but it doesn't sprawl like the ones we're talking about. Beautiful views. On television I saw a monster home that Mike Tyson had. It was sooo sad. He admitted that the decorator picked every little thing on his tables and bookshelves. Not a real memory of something a friend gave him or a place in time. No family pictures. Nothing to call home. He went bankrupt too. If I were a movie star I would be embarrased to live in any of those homes. Brad and Angelina's home is on a cliff. I don't get that. Also this is only one of a couple of houses the stars have. It's not that my life has been so suppressed that I can't think bigger. But gilded crap like the Donald has? Does the house represent their salary? I'll sound like a Pollyanna and that's fine but they can get tax breaks by helping out the hundreds of towns that are dying out. Start a manufacturing company in one of them. Everybody wins. Make your own cloth, manufacture clothes here in America again. I want to believe Brad Pitt is still helping the people in New Orleans. There are other stars too. Can't understand why people still are without the basics there. That town has had constant help from Ellen D and Harry Connick and I guess the government. What's up. Are the officials maybe a little corrupt?

Thanks everyone!!! Here's to answer your questions: -no, not a "pro" ad, it was a challenge at a photo site (to create an Absolut ad - www.dpchallenge.com - and I came in 3rd) -not shot on a light table, just a plain old mirror from a dresser that my sister-in-law was throwing away. There is one off camera flash behind and slightly below the table that the mirror is on aimed at the white backdrop. -as for the balancing, the glasses are balanced like that with no tricks at all, but I was careful not to jiggle the table or breathe too heavily, LOL. With the bottle I tied fishing line around the neck and slightly pulled so the bottle was balanced when I took the photo. Then I cloned the line out in photoshop. Simple and no magic. :)

You're welcome!!

What a neat web site! I forwarded a link to my brother inlaw. I know that he will really enjoy it too! Thank you!
