Just a few shots - not of the art but the building interior!

The Sun and the Moon: Edited to add last photo
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

Sterling in silhouette
I held a lighting workshop recently. Sterling was the model. I rarely shoot silhouettes but I wanted to incorporate that arch into a shot. Backlighting became an obvious choice.

I think overall it's a good shot but the problem I have with it is the brightness of the orange lens flares. As they are so bright your eye does not focus on the label which is the most important focal point in logo emphasizing. Also the right edge of the label appears to be slightly out focus.
It's a good start & I agree with all of B A Taylor's comments above. I feel that the liquid needs more light coming through it to produce a warming glow. This would help make the bottle more the star of the image rather than the background.
Great job though - I am being pedantic and I know how hard bottles are to shoot!
