A bottle or two ?
Taken minutes before we left for the Xmas Party last friday.. I just grabbed the bottle and took 3 shots... two were worth posting..

Ok, here's my 2 cents as I guess these photos are posted for critique rather than just showing?
Usually photos posted "straight out of the camera" like these will need some adjustments, so instantly there'll be comments about boosting contrast, sharpening, and maybe some colour adjustment. I'm going to skip these, though these photos need all those things. 
Now, was it your intention to photograph the bottle? Or bottle with famous landmarks in the background? It seems the latter. My eyes go between looking at the bottle, and looking at the background. If that's what you want, then look at the background when you take your shot. If you do want to do a reshoot, look for anything that might make your background look ugly, like pipes and fences.  When they put the photos of the city behind news readers on the nightly news, you won't see things like that.
With your recent (successful) experience shooting the glasses with jelly, why not do a studio set up to photograph a bottle? With a plain background too. Doug C.
I think it is a totally wrong subject with brown brothers, should be a bottle of Dom perion Moet instead

Thanks for the feedback, Doug to answer you question... Yes it was partially my aim to photography the bottle and the view, but it was also my aim to show it in context with our offices deck. While this may not be asthestically pleasing to some, as these are the lead up shots to the Xmas party, they put the bottle, the view and the office in context .. or so I thought... I'll take on your PP comments and see what I can do...
