Champagne Glass

Looking for any opinions, ideas, thoughts, etc. Fire away! Slight post in lightroom CC

Nikon D5100
Nikkor 35mm F/1.8

I feel like I lost sharpness need the actual bell of the glass, where most of the sharpness is at the base.

Double post.

Whoops! Deleting other thread now.

IMHO - very humble as I'm no expert at this sort of thing - but something I read that I came to appreciate is to pay attention to the shadows. Often ignored.
When it suits it (and it is not always the case, and in some cases just not good at all) but when it works, it works. Try and get the whole shadow of the thing in the photo and don't crop it as is the case in the sample photo above. Try it with the whole shadow, and then with part cut off - see what appeals to you. This is ART - your art. You do what looks good in your own eyes.

Just something to consider.

Or another 'rule' to be broken.

You're right about the lack of sharpness. Makes me wonder how you focused for the shot. Since the subject is off center, did you focus and recompose? Since there's no EXIF, maybe you needed to stop down a bit. Maybe you needed a tripod (if you didn't use one). Kinda hard to give advice without knowing more about how the shot was taken.

Will do. Ill get more info later this evening when i can get access to the original photo.
