'the curved sword'

A new roundabout with a sculpture 'the curved sword'.
In 1933 local burial mounds were uncovered, dating from 700BC the Bronze Age.
In a kings grave a highly decorated curved sword was found.

I guess this is not the king's sword but a symbolic sculpture? Great capture!

A gift from a close friend - Mezcal of agave Tobalá , this is a wild agave so the production of this Mezcal is not abundant, this particular run was of 490 bottles, this is bottle #459

A good practice for product photography, 2 images, 2 flashes, 2 layers, manual masking in ps

Nice, but a bit dark (for my feeling).  You had one flash as (indirect) background illumination?

Raining day (again, the third day in a row with very much rain)

the balance of the fluid shows it is standing on a slope, alc should not be a slope for people...

Thanks for commenting Frank

It may be slightly sloped when I place on top of 2 plastic containers to add the flash underneat or maybe an effect of auto align

I also had problems with the focus point being slighly different between both images, obvious if looking closely to the label
