 daaaamn that's gorgeous! Gotta disagree with you about the background's lush colors, five.

 'k, been playing with it in paintshop; the bottle's upper right WOULD be stronger but the comp as a whole would be starker and you'd lose that eye-popping golden glow against the purples.

 :) yes, it's the composition that got lost... out of balance in not a good way; was trying to make the light sweep around as I played with planes -- it's that last blue bit (line) down the bottle that really threw it off.

 Interesting to read your thought about this one. I saw it first as a thumbnail and was blown away by the richness of the colours and the depth you'd achieved. I see what you mean on this larger version, but to me the whole works beautifully...
