Better in b&w
Now that I know about "Picture Control" and have a monochrome world in my EVF, I'm noticing how some images are much more interesting without the color.

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Here are a couple long exposure shots using my original 50 year old Minolta SR-T201 and kit lens shooting Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II. Both images were taken just at the end of blue hour.

Good one, Jim. Indeed, even as someone who rarely does mono, I suspect the mono version of this is far better than a colour one would be. I'm fine with the tonings, but there could be several versions that work. I've tried doing what Broken suggested as far as is possible from the posted jpeg, and the result was different but no better. I like the composition, which is quite subtle, not just a random mass of glassware.
Here's a 'flatter' version. I still prefer the original, I think it has more of the mood of a tacky bar liquor cabinet.
Tacky? Classy by my standards!
