I know from experience that you can get some really great red colors from coke cans. Unfortunately, you didn't. Everything is either shadowed or it's a white highlight.
I do like that the cans are wet. I like the water drops on top of the art of the spilling coke on the can.
I'm a recovering Cokeaholic, but two things about this image really bother me. The first is that the cans are all open/empty, which is emphasized by the point of view. To me, this says "recyclables" rather than "world's favorite bevvy." Second, and much less important but still worth a mention, the litte bit of background is pretty distracting. Sorry to be so negative. There's good DOF, and it's one of the few sharp (nearly) images in this challenge. I'm just a perfectionist when it comes to my cola.
Reminds me of Andy Warhal. There were 2 other's that did the coca-cola thing, I think this one works the best though. I like your method of composition, and the technical qualities of this photo are good. I would have liked more focus on the front though.
