Still Life: With and without Depth of Field

I am getting a little closer to what I think I want. I like the depth of Field in the lowcr image, but it is a little strong yet. I might try to tone it down a little. Bottles and candles use Vray Fast SSS2 material.

Still Life

I'm trying a few more ideas out to see what they look like.

A little more work to my still life

I'm working on getting a wax material. I'm getting closer. Also, I think I need to add a couple of short black candle holders for the smaller candles in the foreground to add a little more richness to the scene. I've still got a long way to go.

Still Life Additions Using Vray Fast SSS2

I'm trying out some candles. I don't think I like them so far so I'll keep trying some other ideas.

Still Life Adjustment Using Vray Fast SSS2

I adjusted reflectiveness and ior values for the bottles (yellow more so). I also changed the thickness of bottle bases.

Beginings of a still life

This is the begining of a still life that I am working (playing) on. This image is rendered with Vray. I am using Fast SSS2 (SubSurface Scattering) for the glass. This is just the start so far.
