Taken while my husband and I were on a camping trip over the long 4th of July weekend. I had to take dozens and dozens of shots trying to get the right light on the can. Finally, my husband had to stand in the river upstream of the can to block the sun a bit. I wish I could have used some spot editing - it looked so much better when the top to the can was sharpened a bit but this will have to do.

Pitty there are no real visible water drops on the can. Would have enhanced the "cool" idea. Very nice photo.

Nicely done. MIght have cropped in a little closer to the Pepsi can to remove the stick in the upper left, otherwise a refreshing and tempting photo.

Nice shot but perhaps a tighter shot would have helped. As well as using the flash to brighten the can. Good idea. makes me thirsty.

Another great shot of a beverage with water background. You managed to keep the product the focus while without burring the backround. Great shot.

I think the shot would have been better if the branch would have been removed from the scene. Otherwise, great shot! I like the focus and the idea. Good job.

A nice idea, but ok execution. The can is placed too far out of the water, so it looks more like it is floating than being drenched. The sharpness and detail are really nice, but more foam in the water or a deeper depth for the can would have made the refreshing idea more believable. Maybe just dropping the can in the stream and shooting it as it was pulled along would have given you a more active shot.

Great landscape, but more attention needs to be on the can of Coke.

Seems a little soft on the can.
