Photographer’s Note
An image of just a tiny corner of the Williams & Humbert bodega in Jerez. http://www.bodegas-williams-humbert.com/?lan=en. Nicknamed the 'Cathedral of Sherry' it is an awesome sight. 60,000 barrels each holding 500 litres of sherry or brandy - 30 million litres in total!! The rows of casks stretch literally as far as the eye can see in all directions. The light levels are kept deliberately low to provide the ideal conditions for the wine, if not the visitor :-)
Hand held at 1/15th of a second it's not perfectly sharp, but hopefully does give a sense of the scale of the place. I have also deliberately not corrected the colour temperature as I feel the colour adds to the overall impact. You may disagree :-)

Hi Keith
Great picture and perspective. It's amazing the number of barrels. Green color of the light is particular. Congratulations.

For hand-held photo at 1/15th sec sharpness is quite good.
I think there is no real need to make any color corrections here - the way it's presented here looks good.
