 Lit with a 500 w halogen light from below, the bottle was on a glass table and on a yellow cardboard. PP included shadow highlights, contrast, brightness and a little neat image. Not expecting to do very well, we'll see...

I just hope people don't tell me it is overexposed on the bottom because that was done on purpose, I was trying to simulate a sun, which is always overexposed :P

The picture is perfect in every way, except it is dead. There's no life. Perhaps some condensation would have propped it up. Or a reflection.

good lightning setup and very creative idea. the beer it self needs some more light and you forget the sweat from the bottle to give it a cold look. Anyway this is a good shot.

7: Interesting lighting. The bottle feels on a lean though.

Nice job. Comp is a little too centered but a taller crop would allow space for text underneath the bottle. A little condensation would help add a "refreshing" touch in contrast to the warm colors you use for the background. Also a bit more contrast betwen the product and the background would help.

I think the "floating" effect is great..must try and experiment to get a similar look. Lovely rich, deep tones.
