so here's how this came together, and why the ripped label, etc.:
at first I only wanted to take a picture of a glass with bubbles and lemon. After taking some shots, I thought it needed something more, though. So I looked in the fridge and there was that orange seltzer water bottle. So I put it in for some test shots, and really liked how it added to the composition of the scene. Then I noticed the label was ripped, but by then it was late on Sunday and I didn't really care that much. After all, it's just an exercise. But yeah, the bottle was added as an after-thought.

I really enjoyed working with backlit transparent objects, and I hope to do some more stuff along these lines in the future.

The Seltzer water is blocked out by the glass, not a good idea to hide what you're selling.

Since your water is mandarin orange, I might have used a slice of orange instead of a lemon - or maybe nothing in the water, since it's supposed to be so 'great' already, maybe some oranges cut up around the edges and in background?

Cropping could have been better and I am a little distracted by the choice of design on glass. I feel it would have been better if the glass were plain to let the condensation take over.

The torn label bothers me a *little* bit, but I think I would have liked it better if the background was a different color.

Nice presentation. It would sell the soda water to me. It's got me thirsty just looking at it.
