Top of the Island

Noticed the strong Winter sunlight shafting through the window onto an old and rather nice looking Gin bottle so used the Pentax FA* 85mm and a 36mm Triplus auto extension tube to capture the combination of glass, wood, shadows and highlights. The bottle is a beautiful sea green colour but a mono conversion seemed just right for this image.
I chose this lens because although a Macro lens may have given better sharpness, the out of focus areas tend to have a beautifully soft and smooth look with the FA*85.
