Absolut Mist

Comment:
This is a beautiful image. The softness of the mist contrasting with the shiny, very definitive texture of the rocks. It does have a certain 'magical' tome to it.

Absolut Before: The Root of It All

I love this! It's clever & it's executed beautifully. I like the way the potatoes aren't just 'perfectly' aligned- but rather that the layout is parallel to the individuality of each potato. I've seen a lot of creative shots in this contest- but this is my winner because it's a unique take on Absolut Vodka... that's the point- right?!

Absolut tornado

Comment:
I'm not a huge fan of the 'floating bottle' look. I do appreciate the creative idea & I also like the the lighting. However, I wish the tornado wasn't competing with the words on the bottle. Perhaps the words could have been made a touch bolder in post processing?

ABSOLUT Confectionary

I keep coming back to this image- there is something I like about it. It's interesting. Gives me the feeling of speed. I have no idea what it has to do with Absolut or vodka, but I like something about it...

Absolut Proof

Comment:
The bottle is beautifully lit & I like the way the props frame the primary subject. Speaking of props- the Clue concept is competing for my attention.

Where to begin...
What does this have to do with Absolut? The model looks incredible awkward holding the bottle in that position. The combination of lighting and this crop, she also comes across headless (sans the random arm fragment) as well as having 'amputated' feet. And as far as the title- I'm not feeling pleasure with this image. I'm feeling like this is a rejected CPS advertisement. *cringes*

I beautiful capture, but I want more from it. From an editing standpoint, I would have considered making some of the black script text a little more bold as to not be lost in the background. The choice of bottle positioning here is...? From the viewers standpoint, the word 'Absolut' is not as legible as the word 'Vodka'

I dig it! It's basic & I have no idea how it relates to vodka- but I appreciate the creativity! I also like the very basic color scheme keeping the image/idea tight.

Absolut on the Rocks
by TheDruid

Comment:
I love the colors depicted here- especially the sharpness/texture given to the rock. The concept is a little loose here. How does the sail boat tie in? By choosing to keep your subject on the lower half of your image- the viewer gets a lot of empty space up top and then a boat is as dominate as your primary subject. Feels like it's competing for attention as opposed to supporting the Absolut image. The bottle just seems to be there. Also, & this is merely a pp of this challenge for me- but I would have taken the safety wrapper off!

A Rose for Absolut-ly Every Occasion
by apasciuc

Comment:
This image feels off for me. The word 'imported' is not only the most legible word on the screen, but it's also the center of your piece. The lighting seems to only capture 2/3 of the rose- almost giving the appearance of a vignette that exists only on the right side of the image balanced by what looks like a hand? on the upper left. All of that to say, I would recommend a cleaner image in hopes of a clear concept to be given to the audience.
