VW: The New Beetle

Comment:
The new bug is a great subject, but you haven't made the most of it here. The low angle is cool, but the flash glare on the bumper and washed out fender detract. I'd have cropped off the very bottom, as well, since it makes the tires look truncated. The trees in the background don't do much for me, and interfere with the outline of the car. Maybe color would have worked better in that regard.

Kinda nice, but I'd like to see some more detail in the girl's face. I think you could have composed differently, too, for better effect. I'd have tried to get closer and used the slide as the entire background without the XXX at R and L showing.

An interesting arrangement, but has some technical issues. The cork is just ahead of the field of focus, the whiskey in the glass looks very cloudy and not so appealing, and the whole image needs a little CCW rotation.

So good. The slight blur and sweat on your hands gives me that white-knuckle feeling, and the angle works there, too. Wish I had a monitor that big. Only thing I can think of to improve the image would be some kind of gel over the lightsouce, maybe blue or red, to make it a little more atmospheric.

Did you try any with the text visible through the bottle? Might have been interesting. Loads of blue channel noise made more evident by the sharpening - reduces the clarity of the glass. Actually, there's what's bothering me - between the noise and not being able to see anything but blue screen behind the glass, the bottle could almost be opaqe. Still in my top 10. Nice work.

A really nice picture, if a little oversharpened (jaggies in the rigging show it best). Can't for the life of me find a product here, though. Whatcha selling?

Mine! Get your own.

Nice that the cans are the only (almost) color in the image. Slightly tilted.

Steal it from your driveway? {jk} For a detail shot like this, I'd like to see you get even closer and really home in on one design element of the car. The angled view along the rear here with hotspots and reflections, houses, lawn, etc. in the background isn't the most effective way to show this product.

Time for Cookies

Send a dozen and I'll raise your score three points! Very appealing colors. The layout could be more interesting, but maybe that's not necessary with this kind of product. The lighting, while it worked pretty well on the cookies and dough, made some problematic double shadows and overexposure on the placemat.

"Gordon fell off the wagon, Gordon fell off the wagon..." Flash for the bottle was a good choice, as you got that great, glowing logo working for you. You raise the bar on submission technicality, for sure. Don't let the turkeys get you down.
