Thanks. The initial layout was done with pencil by freehanding.

Glass is really hard to do, but I think you did very well with it. I'm not sure what is going on with the concrete. I think the color spots in the concrete compete with the color of the bottles and maybe an even tone of gray (like the reference picture) would be better?? Hope you don't mind me giving my opinion! I know you worked really hard on this one

Thank you for your feedback. I see what you mean by competing color/attention. I thought the "mono" tone for the concrete was boring, so I decided to experiment with colors. If I were to do it again, I would try another way and make it better. Thanks again for your comment.

I'm relieved that you didn't feel insulted. I like honesty and I hope others are truthful about my work, too. I WANT to know so I can improve, and I think you do,too.So you are very welcome!
