The Blackest of Vodkasby
ManicComment by Manic: For those of you who asked, yes, black vodka really does exist, and it's very nice too! :o)

They use a herb to stain it a very dark green, nearly black, and it makes the vodka just a tiny bit smoother :o) Enough of the plug, back to the photo! The shot was light by sunlight alone, but I was playing about with aperture & shutter settings, so ended up with a very blue shot. I got most of it black by readjusting the levels, but couldn't get it as dark as I had hoped, hence its a bit over exposed looking. The focus was a pain, as I wasn't able to get the depth I wanted, so I went with the focus on the 'pure black vodka', since that's what I was trying to sell.
Final thing - the reason this doesn't show any more of the bottle or its enjoyment was that I was trying to sell the name, ie create brand awareness, rather than the physical product.
Thanks for all your comments!
