For those of you who asked how I took the shot, I uploaded the original photo.



We took the photo outside on a semi-cloudy day in the afternoon. It took 6 tries and I chose the very last photo. For those who wanted the liquid to go in my mouth, that was my original plan, which is why I'm opening my mouth. But instead I missed and the drink aimed at my eyes, and it turned out to be better than the rest of the shots.

Special thanks to Czaja and Chloe. And thank you for everyone's wonderful comments!

I'll bet you she was laying down and just poured the drink on herself. (How many takes to get it right??) Then simply a matter of rotating the photo.

Congratulations on a well-deserved ribbon!

Btw, people should wait until the challenge is over before posting outtakes, assists, etc.

EDIT: Oops, I see it has been removed. Meant no offense, in any case.

Dear me, I don't know if want a beverage that attacks! Or is she one of those people with a drinking problem (a la Airplane, the movie)?

Amusing, great stop-action.

Great shot! The fluid path is wonderful, punching right in the eye!

  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/11/2008 10:12:11 PM
Hahah, while a very interesting photograph, it doesn't exactly make me want to drink it. Could just be me though. I like it a lot though. The simplicity really gives the message "punch" (couldn't help myself, hahah).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/11/2008 12:10:00 PM
The liquid coming out of the bottle is very strong, as you can see through some areas, and there are drops coming off. Draws your eye from the left side of the photo to the right.

HILARIOUS!!!!

Lovely shot - one of my two favourites from this challange. Really fun, innovative and great execution. I love the fact your model is almost smiling as the drink is hitting her, and most importantly everything is pin sharp. Loads of impact too. Grats - this really ought to ribbon imo.

Fantastic! Great shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/07/2008 07:34:58 PM
This is a really great shot, I think it would have been incredible if you nailed the mouth. Great lighting and idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/07/2008 07:07:41 PM
This is great. So refreshing and fun. Seeing how the bottle is empty at the bottom part, going all the way out to the model's face is just excellent. The only nitpick is the little bit of red peaking out from the model's clothing, and the clothing rippling on the torso. Still, a super shot.

took me a while to work this out... did you do the batman trick??

Really like this shot. Great composition. Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/07/2008 02:44:10 PM
Nice set up. Humorous and clear. I'm sure what's being sold and the message comes out very clear. Comp would work easily with text. Nice work.

how good could this be if she had managed to shoot the drink into her mouth...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/06/2008 01:10:31 AM
Would have been great if she got it in the mouth. A little noisy. Very nice job.8
