On the Level

Possibly even better without the manipulation?
All the gear & no idea.
By my opinion the picture was rotated by 90° CW and the wine was frozen into the glass. Is my hint correct?
Thank you- no PS manipulation other than tweaking levels to even out the background ( in a rather clumsy way now that I've seen it on a different screen!) Cheers, Gary

I am totally confused, no ps?
Flames sideways?
Upright glass / wonky wine? HOW???
All the gear & no idea.
Using a traditional film camera I used the double-exposition method. I know that the K20 doesn't know it, but I'm not sure in this capability of the K7 that was used by you.
I am sure in that your camera was fixed to the board with all other items and you moved the all items together. The wine was shot when you rotated them to right (CW) by about 30 degrees. I have only a problem with the wine, because when you shot the candle's flame then the all items were rotated to left (CCW) by 90 degrees. But where was the wine then?
OK, I looked at your shot closer. I see that the candle was in this position under the preparing, because the candle flame melted the wax over it.
My guess is that you fixed all items, the camera and the lighting to the board and you moved smoothly to left or round. The airflow layed down the flame.
How sounds it?
rotated / straightened?
All the gear & no idea.
Hey Gabor- you are getting too complicated for me! Seriously your second guess is quite close and so is Larry's recent explanation (the wine?). Only one shot was involved- with the camera on a tripod. You are both so close! Cheers, Gary
Wine? jelly set at this angle?
All the gear & no idea.
Cheers, Gary
I am I looking forward with interest for your more complex 'impossible' still-life composition.
