Thanks to everyone who commented.
The glare is a problem, I agree, but no angle I did this at avoided it entirely and I hoped it being off the label and liquid themselves would help a bit with that.
This was taken in a patch of rocks underneath an overhang and some stairs, so daylight really didn't reach in, hence the flash. I didn't want to walk around carrying an open bottle of liquor or I might have taken it down the street to the next closest patch of rocks. We're kinda short on landscaping rocks around here, alas.
It's centered on the rocks because I wanted the rocks surrounding it and because I wanted to not show the wall behind it, which is boring and ugly. I did have a couple off-center pictures but you could always see the wall or not read the label, so I ended up picking this one. I suppose I could have cropped the wall out of one of the other ones, maybe that would have worked better. Or just cropped this one differently. I like to avoid big crops personally but I should probably get over that. (I did crop this, mostly to get rid of my foot, heh, but it was a very small crop (I think it was just my heel you could see -- oops).)
It's Amaretto specifically, if anyone wondered, because I think the bottle itself is very pretty.
Also, thank you to the 7 people who represent my first votes above a 6. :) |

| Cute play on words here, but the picture itself doesn't do much for me. Maybe it's the lighting or the dull colors. I think with some brighter rocks and better lighting, this might have turned out more fun. |

| great idea, strange lighting. the bright glare through the glass doesn't do much for the composition, nor does your high perspective on the subject. Did you try taking it from closer to the level of the bottle? |

| Lighting could be better - nice background for the Amaretto though. |

| I LOVE the idea! I wonder if there would have been a more appealing reflection in either a) a more diffused flash, or b) a light source such as... daylight? |

| I don't like the composition or viewpoint of this shot and the specular hightlight on the top of the bottle is very distracting. I think it would have been more effective had the bottle been laying on it's side with maybe some seaweed around to suggest it had been washed up on shore. I also think a close up of the bottle would have been better so that you don't see all those rocks. You've also lost detail in the top of the bottle which is as distracting as the highlight below it. |

| A tighter shot of the bottle would be a very good pictue. Nice contrast between the bottle and the rocks. |

| The glare on that bottle is very distracting. |

| I like your idea but the flash didn't help you much. You might try diffusing your flash to get rid of the blown out area on the bottle, or just do it in daylight. It would also help if you didn't center the subject. 5 |

| It might have been funnier if the title didn't give away the punch-line. Good idea for a joke, photograph. |
