If Alice Was a Ladybug

What a wonderful shot! Very creative and very interesting...fun to look at. I love that it's the convergence of the "strong" lines that you use as your leading lines.

this is a beautiful shot...really stunning. However, I'm not getting a strong feeling for the challenge from it (though as I look at it the clouds do seem to be playing the part of "leading lines" in that they seem to be moving away from your subject). In any case, this is certainly a shot to be proud of.

Very cool shot and its particularly cool that your leading lines all tend to converge on the center of your subject. Nice job

You've done a really great job of using your leading lines to give the feel of your subject being below the viewer. For me, it's almost uncomfortable which I really like.

Really nicely done. You've done a great job of controlling exposure. The highlights are just short of being blown out but, especially with the blue cast, really bring out the contours in lovethelight's face.

Sprite!

Advertising photography is all about details. You've done a nice job or setting up the shot but there are just a few things that would have made your shot better.

You want to bring the viewers into your scene - make them imagine themselves "using" your product so putting the sprite in a scene (on a picnic table on a sunny lawn for instance) instead of a still life would help.

One thing that makes soda pop different is that it's carbonated so bubbles are always good as is frost on the glass - make me thirsty!

Lastly, I avoid using the built in flash as much as I can (except for fill). Because there are very few shadows the images tend to look "flat".

Sorry for such a long comment but you're on the right track and I hope you'll play with this image (re-shoot it) and see what you can do.

Good Luck!

This is a well set up shot. I just wish the depth of field were better. the beer (particularly the head) in focus would really have sold your idea.

What a great concept. On my monitor, the whites seem a little blown out. Other than that, great shot!

OH no! Another "Splash shot". As tired as I am getting of them, this was really well done and very appropriate to the challenge.
