lovely glowing effect. I like the diagonal from reflection to stopper with drop of perfume on it. The atmosphere is full of aroma. 8

Nice lighting of the yellow liquid and the shiny bottle.

I like the limited number of colors, the simplicity. Also I like the shallow depth of field and the focus on the top of the bottle, it makes it special (you probably get a lot of complaints about it). Only disturbing are the darker streaks (caused by refractions?) in the bottle, is it caused by the label, or is the environment not shielded of for example by a white sheet ?

The soft focus on some parts does work well.

It's a little too bright at the top but I like it. Mainly because that's one of my favorite sayings when it comes to stink juice. I like your choice of dof except the dropper. I would have liked to see that sharp also.

I'm back to raise my vote on this shot. I like it more and more. Very good light, color and focus. Good luck in the challenge this is real nice.

Nice angle. Simple color scheme is nice. Perhaps there could be a little more definition between the bottle and its refelction at the bottom, but this is a good shot.

What appears to be a soft focus works well to give a dreamy effect. The unusual angle helps give it some interest, and follows a commonly used advertising style. The color is good and there are no obvious light reflections in the glass. Very nicely shot.

I like this very much but wish the focus were sharper. I can't tell what point in the image is focused. If the whole thing is intentionally soft, that's fine, but it seems like the droplet and/or the bottle threads should be sharper to emphasize the strength of the scent. The base of the bottle also disappears into its reflection for the same reason, making it appear to be a taller, hourglass-shaped bottle.

Nice, personally, I would have backed off just a little to include more of the dropper at the top.

Looks like a shot out of a catalogue, and I mean that as a compliment. Great use of a shallow dof, and great lighting. Nice work.
