 I struggled for ideas on this one.
So this evening, I had a Bud whist thinking about what to do. And suddenly inspiration struck.
Bud is the king of beers, and there are 3 Kings….

This then turned out to be a fun shoot as I had to drink 2 more Buds before I could start.

Used levels on background and cloning to get consistent white.
Slight adjustment on curves and colour balance on bottles

Then drank 1 more.

Bud.....Wize.....errrr.
Wazzzzzuuuuuuuuuuup

The irony is I usually drink Cider, but this evening the only drink we had in the house was Bud.

For me I think there is too much space, bottles are refelcting light and shadows. Would be more appealing cropped right in on the bottles and even in B/W could look better. keep at it, this could be a lot better photo !

Not a bad high key shot. Your reflections on the bottle though are a little distracting. I can tell you where exactly you had at least two of your lights. Also, the bottle on the left is not centered properly. In a set up shot like this, these types of details are the key to making a good shot excellent!

I love how you captured the theme of Budweisers current advertising by turning the lids upside down... of course, they're ads show the crown as a water splash, but that is just so much more difficult :) 8

Great idea, lights reflecting off the 'kings' can be distracting. However, great pic, color and composition. As for your taste of beer, well I prefer Guinness myself ;-) 9

I feel the same way. Maybe too much white.

I'm curious as to why you would have cut thr bottoms of the bottles off?
