this was supposed to be a SPOOFon Absolut Vodka ads.
many people passed comments on how the trademark bottle was not apparent in my photo.
I had no bottles on hand so I resorted to this plastic cup - of which is what they serve alcoholic beverages in when you go clubbing (maybe it's different from where you're from) .
the main idea was to portray alcoholism - drowning in your drink.. hoping to be rescued from your pathetic sorrows.. etc.
i must admit that the technical side of my photo is not perfect.
que se foda.

Eh. I seen no absolute, just an odd setup with 2 hands.

Not familiar with the product, doesn't sell its self. Backgroun busy.
05/11/2002 12:09:00 PM
Interesting photo. I'm just not sure what is for sale.
05/10/2002 05:53:00 PM
Props on the concept, execution seems based on convenice rather than perfection.

whats the product? hands? water? vodka? the glass? glare on glass very frustrating
05/09/2002 09:27:00 PM
The backdrop and idea are very good. The glare at the top, though, is distracting.
05/09/2002 11:54:00 AM
no, this doesn't work...the beads of water or whatever all over the glass are distracting, and if you are going to use absolut, there has to be some resemblence of a bottle somewhere
05/09/2002 04:47:00 AM
Interesting subjects and arrangement, but doesn't really follow the Absolut theme without the bottle. Holding a white card between the lightsource and the glass might have toned down those reflections, and another angle would probably be more interesting.
05/08/2002 07:28:00 PM
what? sure can't tell what is being advertised here. maybe the title helps some but sorry, titles don't count
05/08/2002 02:22:00 PM
I dont know if you can get one for your camera but a polarizing filter would have cut down on the reflection and might not have let you be as visible.
05/07/2002 06:02:00 PM
Drinking and driving don't mix advertising? Did you try to center the glass? Cool background. :) Ok, Absolut is a drink. Hmmm....still don't get it. I'll be back.
05/07/2002 04:39:00 PM
I would like to have seen the top of the glass!
05/07/2002 04:34:00 PM
What are you selling? Don't see the connection to ABSOLUT.
05/07/2002 11:03:00 AM
Hm. I'm not sure I'm inspired to buy absolut. A less obtrusive background would maybe have improved the photo, as well as not cutting off the top of the glass.
05/07/2002 06:33:00 AM
My feeling is that the title shouldn't make the picture fit the challenge if the image doesn't. kind of a surreal idea but I don't think the image does sell the idea of the advert
05/07/2002 02:15:00 AM
Hmm, the subject is kinda grotesque, the backdrop is a dull brownish-grey, the lighting doesn't seem to have any purpose.... sigh.
05/06/2002 07:45:00 PM
You're selling hands, right?
05/06/2002 05:33:00 PM
Don't get it. What are we selling here? What is it that is supposed to appeal to me.
05/06/2002 01:55:00 PM
right
05/06/2002 01:19:00 PM
Highly creative photo! Most inventive boozer shot, but less than effective advertisement. Photo 10 Advert 5 Creativity 10 total 8
05/06/2002 10:21:00 AM
This is a cool idea but without the title, I have no clue what I am buying... The picture does not show me the product... Creativity scores very well here though !!
05/06/2002 09:51:00 AM
Cool looking hands but I don't see the product your selling.
05/06/2002 08:54:00 AM
Incredible.
05/06/2002 06:29:00 AM
Where is the Absolut? The flash is too harsh and your backdrop has too much going on with it which distracts from the foreground. Biggest problem I have is that you are trying to mimic an Absolut ad but you left out the Absolut bottle.
05/06/2002 02:30:00 AM
Where is the product label? I like those hands alot. I want to own them :)
05/06/2002 03:59:00 PM
is that three fingers going down
