This is a reshoot of my first entry in dpchallenge:
//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=121655
It's still my very favorite pic (of those that I've submitted) although the processing was not good and overall it was not appreciated much by the voters.
The improvement is clear at the print-version:

So this is a challenge that I welcome a lot! I' ve tried to make it better, with a different camera and of course different processing. I hope for everyone to enjoy this pint!

Paschalis, thanks for your comment on my beach entry and I thought I would give you one in return. The only thing I would really change is that I would turn the bottle alittle bit forward to read the title alittle better. I really like the processing on this image too. Thanks again joe.
Camera Work/Technical: Excellent! Your crisp focus adds to the dramatic feel of this capture. I would like to see the depth of field just a little deeper as the Gui on the left side of the image appears a little soft.
Lighting: Out of the many image strengths, lighting is your strongest here. Wonderful job capturing the perfect amount of each label to capture interest and hold onto the viewer's eye.
Composition/Content: I prefer the composition of the original entry more, but everything else about this one is better. This composition is not bad, by any means, but I like the full frame feeling of the original.
My Opinion: Excellent job improving on a great idea. This may even be one of the most improved in this entire challenge. Wonderful work!
The crop is a bit too tight at the top but this sure is a fantastic study in lighting. I wish the Guiness was turned slightly to the right so I can read a bit more of it ;) This would make a great advertisement don't you think?
Excellent composition, really like the contrast, wish the top of the bottle were in the frame though. Still get a 7 for this challenge - nice second take! (Hey, I'm a sucker for a good stout!)
Mmmm Guinness... mmmm ok so you get a 6 just for taking a picture of beer! LOL actually, no, you get a 6 because I like the setup and light. Only one thing: you cropped the top of the bottle. Might look better with it.
