Greetings from the Critique Club

My first thought upon viewing this image was "where did he find all that Heineken Beer!" And then noted you went to the source. Nice work.

You scored very well in this Challenge and your technicals are terrific as is your composition. I was tempted to say the light on the lower shelf was bit 'hot' until I realized that simply was the dramatic lighting utilized to show off the green bottles.

So, forgive me if, with your good score, and very nice image, I move on to the next image in the Critique Club queue to review after telling you,

"Well Done."

fantastic picture.

This looks familiar. Great dof and looks pretty close to an ad I would see in a magazine.
10/10/2006 08:24:35 PM
Nice..
10/10/2006 04:31:47 AM
line 'em up!

Love it! - just wish there was a bit more light on the front of the bottles...
10/10/2006 03:45:08 AM
well
10/10/2006 02:39:02 AM
good shot!

Very good concept. Saw one like this on a billboard, so you did a fine job of depicting it in a way the advertising market would jump on. I know it is basic editing, so spot editing is not allowed, but the overexposed line at the bottom is distracting. Still, overall, you used dramatic lighting to highlight the product. 8

like leading lines? i like it, i mean the picture, not the beer. 8

I would have cropped another 1cm / 40 pixels or so and left the vanishing point to the imagination. 8

Saw this one done already and the other one was better.

7: Great idea and well executed. I'd have cropped it at the left to not show the bottles ending but to give the idea of going on forever.
10/05/2006 02:52:09 PM
Where have I seen this before? Nice shot.
10/05/2006 08:13:35 AM
Neat!
10/04/2006 11:34:15 PM
Image is small, which is a shame since this is a great photo...
10/04/2006 09:32:10 PM
Another nice title would have been "Set for the night". Great job. 8
10/04/2006 07:32:21 PM
I like the rhythm and the perspective in this. No question what's being sold here. The light at the base of the bottles is way too much. Besides the light, maybe a different angle and a shallower DOF would make this more ad friendly.
10/04/2006 06:18:37 PM
thats cool! Good job
10/04/2006 05:02:52 PM
I like this picture. The depth is great.
10/04/2006 04:50:32 PM
I'm sure I've seen this somewhere very recently, but can't remember when or where. good luck anyhow.
Cool photo BTW
10/04/2006 03:10:52 PM
Cool effect!
10/04/2006 03:03:36 PM
I love Heineys! Great composition, although the shelf is overexposed.
10/04/2006 01:02:57 PM
Well done with this.
10/04/2006 10:43:16 AM
I remember seeing this one recently (or one just like it).
10/04/2006 02:13:01 AM
I've seen this same shot....or one JUST like it recently. I think the other one was a bit clearer? Cool idea.
10/04/2006 02:00:01 AM
hmmmm... nice shot. My guess is that you'll get knocked for originality. Last week's 8th place in "Leading Lines":
10/04/2006 12:32:29 AM
I guess I've seen this somewhere else. Was it in "Leading Lines"?
