Odd placement of items. Alcohol + Sun = Sick. :) Also, are you selling the Skyy or the Lejon?

Nice shot, and good set-up. Cropping the dark side of the rock/ledge from bottom would have made it better to me.

excellent idea but dont really like both bottles in the shot. great use of lighting and glassware.

Nice setting. I like the sunlight on the Skyy bottle.

It's a good idea but I think it could have been executed better. It's difficult to read the Skyy bottle and I think the arrangement could be improved.

not sure I really like the martini glass tilted, and the Skyy bottle seems a bit too dark to me.

Great idea for a photo - It would have been nice to see a little bit more of the vodka bottle. It's a bit hard to read. Nice set up though.

sky bottle is bit underexposed/ under lit

Love the DRY background. And nice contrast of blue bottle and white label. Nicely done.

shaken not stirred I hop
nice setup though I think the blue bottle distracts as theres not enough detail on it

Title is way too long.

I like the subject and clarity, but the sunlight seems to wash this out a bit, however, it does make some nice sparkles in the glasses

Can't read the Sky bottle and the vermouth label has a big shadow.

i think this pic. would have been more appealing under an indoor setting ... distracted by the surroundings.

The natural background and environment is tough to shoot on without artificial lighting sources. The sky vodka is too dark and the tilted glass is a bit distracting.

Very nive photo but I don`t like olives.

Better than most boozer adverts! The SKYY bottle could be more clearly displayed, or at least I would hope so. Photo 9 Advert 8 Creativity 9 total 9

The idea is on the right track. The image itself could be improved with better lighting, more diffuse. Also if you put a thin mirror behind the bottle and shine light into it at an angle you can effectively light the bottle from behind.

I almost love this shot. The blue bottle is lost because of the light. I do love the natural light here. Also the glass in titlted which could of been okay with a different background. Good job all the same. LEJON is in nice focus.
P.S. cute title too.

This is a nicely composed photo... I like it! The lighting is just a *tad* harsh... the label on the Skyy bottle is a little hard to distinguish... good job!

your camera metered for the brightness of the scene, therefore rendering the objects of interest overly dark.

the "SKYY" label looks a bit washed out.
