Well, apparently we know you are capable of great work. Darn you for bumping me to 4th in shadow. Anyway, I gave this shot a 5. A few limiting factors. 1) in "product ads" I think the subject should be fully in focus. The top of the absolut bottle is soft. If this was handheld, it could have been a bit of motion blur at 1/30th. If it was on a tripod, then I would have bumped to at least f8. 2) The back rim of the glass is almost lost. I think this lends confusion to the eye. I actually can't even tell if the glass contains something or not. 3) This is small, but the perspective seems to abnormally squash the bottle.

I do like the gradient. I'm guessing, although I could be wrong, that the blue was added mainly through PP and not through lighting. I didn't find these shots as appealing as something with natural light but a blue subject. Having at least some true white in the shot was more pleasing to the eye.
