[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Bottled water is becoming one of the more popular beverages in the world in the years of 1998-2001. In a 2001 survey, the World Wildlife Fund estimated that people all over the world drink about 89 billion liters of bottled water a year.

While waiting for our photography class insturctor (around 6pm), I only had a bottle of water to fill my hunger. The instructor was late and everybody was getting bored waiting. She's one of my classmates. While I was testing my camera (the flash was jammed), I took this shot. I did not realize it would look ok.

I like colors and DOF is interesting. The sky outside the window complements the composition.

Good composition and idea ... but without the tissue under the bottle.

Lighting and composition are impressive...

I like the composition. The student looks really bored indeed. My only regreat is that paper towel sitting under the bottle. Welcome to TL.

Hi Lorie! I hope your flash is working now...
This photo looks more than ok to me. =) I like the composition of the photo. Very impressive. I'm looking forward for your future posts. =)

Nice photo. I also like the composition very much and I agree with the comments about the paper towel. It hides a bit of the reflection of your classmate on the table. Great capture and welcome to TL.

This is very good depth of field. The water bottle in focus, and your friend in the background blurred. The composition is very nice indeed. I especially like the blue reflection from the sky on the bottle. Your note regarding the use of water was very informative.

You have a style Lorie. Your pictures are good.

You have a good amount of DOF here. This picture tells a story.

Great perspective with this shot and excellent color. As manny says the picture reflects your story well.

Very creative shot and title, Lorie. I like the depth you gave to your image, the DOF is wonderful, and really give a 3D impression. The whole picture is just like a nice story about a calm evening...

Maybe it was stronget stuff???? kidding! bottled water=empty plastic bottles in dumps....

I love this picture, it really makes you think, even more so after reading your notes.

This is a good example of how testing you camera can result in a fabulous photograph. I agree with others about the paper napkin, but you were not striving for a work of art here that you got. ....:O)
