Hey, Culligan Man! ;-) A more sqare crop would have worked better to accentuate "round" to me. And while I joked about the Culligan logo, the writing at the bottom is a bit of a distraction. But I like the color, the focus is well enough on the bottom of the bottle, the dimples or droplets are a nice effect, and the DOF works well.

Interesting perspective. Nothing grabs my attention in this shot however.

1)Does the shot fit the Challenge? I would say yes (5)
2)Photo Color: Color is decent(5)
3)Composition: I think the composition is a little week here. (4)
4)Focus: Focus on the Focal point seems to be good.(6)
5)Background. (4)
6)Lighting. Lighting is what really hurt you. (3)


Conclusion:

I think the biggest issue with this shot is the lighting. I think a bit more light at would allow for you to read the bottom of the water Jug. I do however think that you had an idea here. It could have been executed a little better in my oppinion.

Overall Score: 4.5 Rounded to 5.0

Great idea. but, the background (not the bush) should be darker so you couldnt see it, maybe a higher shutter speed and higher iso. 8

Excellent subject... I wish you had fixed up the contrast a little more. It's pretty flat.

The DOF is nice, but the barbed wire needs to be more in focus.
