Wow. This is tragic. This is a really cool shot with great movement and stop action. Complex pic with a lot going on.

I thought it was great and gave it a 9.

When I first saw this pic, I thought it was baby food. Now I have looked closer, I can see that they are indeed Sobe's.

I didn't give a ten because of the baby food. Sorry about that. Perhaps if that had somehow been a little clearer - probably impossible - it would have been easier to give that 10.

I felt it deserved a high mark because the technical aspects of this pic were very good, particularly lighting, composition and focus. It must have been quite a trick to get the lighting so even.

I get a kick out of the title. Sobe's have a little - often brainless - blurb on the inside of their lids that attempt to exude a little attitude. Some of them are pretty funny. A lot of them are pretty weak. I don't know if they still do this, I haven't had a Sobe in two years. The title is a great example of the kind of short phrase that is on the underside of the lid.

I don't like the grouty yellow-ness. Maybe it would have been better sepia or BW or something. I don't like machines.

Wow - I definitely get a sense of motion and speed from your photo. If someone gave this to me and asked me what the topic was, I wouldn't say beverage though. Industrial or factory, or automation, but not beverage.

Captures a whole nother aspect of "beverage" and reminds me of Laverne and Shirly. :)

The objects are moving so fast I can't tell what they are.

I like the movement effect you are going for with the assembly line, but perhaps a bit faster shutter would have made the bottles a little more recognizable and created more of a sense of movement, instead of just appearing as a blur at the bottom of the photo.
