Modelling and textures need work.

Not bad for a first attempt, I like the highlights from the 
photons.  As you speculate, a lathe object would 
probably be the best way to make a bottle.

From p_chan@shaw.ca:
I like the effect that the photons produced on the bottle.  
If CSG merge is giving you problems, you might want to 
try "manually" merging the objects by cutting out internal 
surfaces out of individual objects before merging them.  
I don't know how efficient this would be in terms of 
render time though.

From StephenF@whoever.com:
Some nice work here, especially for a first entry.  The 
bottle's shape looks good (although it would be fairly 
easy to reproduce it using a lathe object instead, once a 
few hours have been spent playing around with them to 
get the hang of them.)  I like the texture on the 
background a lot.  I've never used photons myself, and 
suspect they are rather tricky... these look a little 
overbright.  The four distinct shadows are rather 
bothersome... using area lights should help, athough 
they would increase the render time significantly.  
('Cheating' by making some of the light sources 
shadowless would be a faster alternative.)  Overall, an 
interesting image which shows a lot of potential.  
Looking forward to seeing more work by the artist.
