Thanks for the tips!! That wine glass shot is amazing, by the way...

And Dave, once again it's so great how you take the time to give such thorough and detailed advice!!! Because you're so great in teaching: I promise to try to change things up a bit and try new angles! I think I've been so busy just trying to build my portfolio, get the numbers up and FAST, that I've given too little time for learning...

I have doubts with relation to the reflections of light on some of my shots and I would like to know if I can post it here to not open another post.

Ok,thank you very much,
I mean the reflection of the left side of this shot, I feel burned out or is passable?

thank you very much
The original shot has much more light, and I underexposure trying to hide the high reflection of the lights in the glass, but takes his advice and makes the shot again.

here the new version, with better control of lighting and another angle

It is generally under exposed. Is that a sea shell in the glass? Watch the use of some greens in food work. It can be an unappetizing color. If those are blueberries in the glass I would have put a few more in. Also to me the focus is not quite there.

Don't like the green at all. Unappealing for food.

is an edible candy shell-shaped, in relation to the approach in this type of shot is necessary that the entire area of the glass is in focus?.

The whole thing doesn't have to be in focus as long as you have some important point to be in tack sharp focus. Again, use of DOF helps draw the eye to a specific area and the OOF section must not overwhelm the rest of the image.
