Great use of shallow DOF. Very good lighting. If you don't actually shoot product photos, you ought to after this challenge. The only two little things I could even point out is a little side light from the right would have filled in and removed the shadow from in front of the jar (although you might want that shadow for depth) and the crop you selected cuts your BG model off at a joint; just a slightly wider crop would have left his elbow intact.

I like this a lot except think that the body (very nice) could have been just a little bit more in focus, I find it a little distracting.

It feels more like advertising....

I like your use of DOF - you can see that body just well enough to knoew that you want what is in the bottle. Wish his elbow were included. Perhaps a bit more contrast would make it more dramatic.

Very nice job with this one, I love the DOF. Could totally see this as an ad, it looks very professional. What is that little speck down at the bottom? Its a tad annoying

Excellent. I love this style of photo. The sharp focus on the jar is spot on and the level of out of focus on the guy perfect. Just like looking in a mirror for me .... I wish!

Wow! Very good with the arpreture! How did you keep the camera's focus to the right of the screen like that?

Too bad about that reflection at the bottom part of the photo. A ring I presume. I would have also used a slightly greater depth of field. Guy is in great shape.

This is definitely a wow shot. Seriously hunky. I'm not sure if it counts as propaganda though. Over the top advertising yes. Oh, hell,, it's a great shot. 9
