I wish that background line had been cloned out... Otherwise this is really fun and well done.

Not voting.

very nice advertising shot, well composed and lit. Don't like the border line but I won't vote it down for that

Well executed ad image. Love the blue and the thin blue frame.

the border takes away from an otherwise good product shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.

wheat? and yay for martini glasses from target :)

great stock shot- but be weary of the reflection on the bottle's label and make sure thers equal lighting all the way down.

Perfect Ad shot! 8

I have those same martini glasses! :D

Nice, simple set up. I like the way the top of the bottle is over the border a bit at the top; Makes it jump out at you.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:58:55 PM
Border tops this off nicely. Looks like it should be a magazine ad.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:58:49 PM
Wonderful product photo. Nice use of the border.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:08:59 AM
The bottle feels really cramped in the frame, especially with the border.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:59:49 AM
Nice job. this would make a great advertisement shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:18:00 AM
An excellent product shot, photographed well.

03/15/2009 06:12:50 AM
great product shot, I would have liked to see this without the added border
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 05:44:16 AM
nice still shot IMO, 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 05:23:05 AM
Nice and clear - great colors - dont think the frame add anything to this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:59:08 PM
Great comercial photo, I love the border although the anti-border DPC'ers may give you a hard time. Best of luck. 8

Benson MN!! Great drink, nice clean/neat shot-label and glass compliment each other
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:51:32 PM
Excellent product shot! The only thing I would have done is the blur or brighten where the table and background meet. Not fond of the border either, maybe if the blue were thinner it would work better for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 02:02:53 PM
Looks like a stock product shot! The only thing I don't care for is the barrel distortion on the bottle and wall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 12:40:13 PM
nice lighting, sharp and clear
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:04:32 AM

Nice, crisp stock/advertising type image. Well set up, composed,executed and processed. I like your framing too. 8

The olive in the glass with all the reflections almost looks like a person dancing and cheering back there.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 12:31:51 AM
A product shot! Nice to see something different again... And well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:24:28 PM
Nice crisp shot, I'm not a fan of borders like that
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:06:23 PM
Fun. Pro quality product shot. The stem of the glass adds a quirky little twist I like. Not sure REAL vodka is ever made from wheat, though :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:42:54 PM
love these types of images
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:27:39 PM
great image (without that horizontal background line near the bottom this would be perfect IMHO)! I really like the border and the way it intersects symmetrically with the bottle!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:05:12 PM
Great product shot. Nice crisp colors, good depth and light, and the tiny red pimento really stands out. I like how the bottle top peeks out of the frame.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:52:15 PM
I'll have one of those.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 05:11:22 PM
This is really nice image. Well lit, sharp, neat concept. But the border ruins it. If you really wanted to keep the border, it would have been better a bit thinner and closer to the edge, and a bit darker blue. The overlap of the image on the border doesn't really work here as it doens't overlap it enough for it to have any impact.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:54:26 PM
Nice product shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:13:48 PM
Like the matching border.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:11:40 PM
love those martini glasses! great product shot but not overly crazy about border.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:42:26 PM
Nice shot overall, couple things that are drawing my eye - the line where the backdrops meet, the line cutting through the olive. Color is great, border works. Good luck!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:11:29 AM
great product shot, sharp and nicely composed, and then you have to go and kill it with that border :) ... no i don't like the border, but i love the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:36:26 AM
The border overlap on the bottom of the bottle is a bit distracting. Otherwise it is well lit
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:18:38 AM
nice clarity here!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:24:52 AM
Not liking the subject matter much but its nice and crisp looking. Good lighting and editing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:54:54 AM
Such a clean image - a strong product shot, but not sure about the border.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:47:55 AM
like how the goes from inside to outside the frame
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:02:56 PM
Great shot. Magazine worthy if you clone out the line between surface and background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:00:16 PM
Nice lighting, I'm not a big fan of the border though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:44:42 PM
Nice, crisp clean shot - creative use of border. Olive adds just a bit on contrasting color.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:29:35 PM
Great product shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:16:39 PM

nice product shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:20:45 AM
Well done, but going to have to take the tiniest bit off for the visible edge of the table/background
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:05:58 AM
Great shot! I'm not so sure about that blue border, but the vodka would be lovely.
