Nicely shot - the lighting and colors are great - they could be abstracted even more to provide a more interesting composition.

I don't like to comment on my lower scores because I am not a professional, but I think this image is just to orange. If more of the white was a crisp white, I think it would've made for a better photo.

Gorgeous color...is that light coming from inside the cups?

Great composition, lighting & colors. I like it as it is, don't see how it could be improved. The grainy look in the whites and yellows makes it look classic.

I wonder how you lit the cans up, from the inside?

Hardly opposites IMO in fact I would say same sh... er crap, different pile.
Only a five from me I feel it misses the challenge theme somewhat even though the are "opposition" but that does not make them opposite.

Neat colors and composition. This has a lot of artictic appeal.

Yes it is, but not really opposites per say, more like opposition. Slight difference. I like the way you lighted the cups from within but the harshness is a bit much for my taste. Also the set up leaves me wanting, the black line on the right is distracting and the cropping seems a bit tight. A 3

Classic rivalry, but not exactly opposites.

Interresting. Although they are fierce competitors, they are certainly not opposites. They are pretty much both the same: crap.

Wow, this photo is awesome. I really like it. Hope it places well!

you should reduce the noise on this picture, it would make it a lot sharper. good concept though!

good composition, but would've preferred a truer white-balance
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Hope you don't get DQ'd for photographing artwork...I won't tell! I don't think they are opposites because they are direct competitors for the same market demographics...all of us who eat! :o)

Nice shot but Burger King and McDonalds are rivals: not opposites, they are fast food chains selling broadly the same product. Hence marked down.

I don't know if it's the packaging themselves or the lighting, but it's a bit too orange. Other than that, great concept and shot!

Good idea and its layout great but the lighting is a bit intense - 6

rivalry, sure. opposites? hmm... i don't know. that's a stretch.
i don't think i like the unnatural yellowy colors here.
