Had fun riding around mud riding with this sweet southern girl. So, even if I don't ribbon, I still had a LOT of fun :-)

Oh, the funny part is: this is not her truck. Nor does it belong to anyone we know. We had intended to take her truck into a bog and get it muddy, but found this truck sunk to its undercarriage, abandoned :-) So, we took advantage of the situation. LOL

The bottle isn't the main focus of the image, but you did market your beer well. The bottle needs to be a bit more noticeable, a tighter crop should fix that.

"mudhole in Mobile" That could be a band name! LOL You were robbed!

just wanted to say that I find the comments about the goofiness of the jeans to be hilarious. I still think low-rise jeans look like they're firmly planted in the wrong decade -- not to mention that only a very small minority of the girls who wear them look truly good in them. "Mom jeans" -- well, I guess that's accurate, because I, a mom, think they're way better than the stupid low-rise ones you see on all these girls today whether they have the figure for them or not (though, to be fair, this girl seems to).

Plus, it looks like they're Wranglers, and if they are, that fits the redneck-going-playing-in-the-mud image to an absolute T. Any country girl knows that the right pair of Wranglers will get all the Stetsons in the vicinity pointed in her direction.

As far as the photo itself -- I think you've done better, Leroy, but if you're going for a TV-beer-commercial kind of look you're not too far off. Really, though, from you I'd expected something a little slicker and more carefully done.

This is a really cool idea and the photo is sharp and well-lit. The model's moment seems to be just a smidge off - as if falling of turning her head awkwardly. It is a cool phot and a great idea.

I'll be the first to admit that "sex" still sells so your definitely on the right track. A tighter crop on the model and the product would make this a very servicable ad.

Wow, this is a great image.... I just don't think that the bottle is as prominant as it should be to really sell the product. But hmm. Maybe if it were in a magazine or something, it could have words on it to draw attention to the product.... Alright, I'm really struggling to decide, but I think I'll have to take a point off, but only because I added the non prominance to the fact that the left leg is cropped off really awkwardly (both weren't worth a deduction on their own).

I really love the textures.. the background is great.. lots of detail but it's not distracting.. same with the mud on the truck. I love the lighting and contrast so much, and the model looks so natural (I especially like the hair) that she doesn't seem to me like she is in the shot just to add sex appeal. It seems tastefully done and kind of realistic.

So the only things I really don't like are the leg and the non prominance, and because the quality of the photo is so great I'm starting with a 10 and going from there, so you can figure out what I just gave you. :-)

6: Well, sex does sell and the beer companies do use so so why not? A tighter crop on the girl and beer and less greenery perhaps?

Okay I have a few problems with this picture,

You're title says "Get dirty with a bud light" and the truck is dirty but she is not. So she really didn't get dirty did she? Also, the old t-shirt in the back of the truck really doesn't fit the picture either.
Another thing is the bracelet that she has on. Jewelry stands for fashion or class and I think that the look that you were looking for was more country. If not then you wouldn't have used the old ford. And the last thing is... Her pants are so high up that it really looks kind of funny. I mean she is in a swimsuit top and she has pants on that could literally cover her chest. But that is just my opinion.

I don't dislike this shot. I do dislike the crop. It just feels as if half the truck is chopped. The mud, the girl, the light, the color all very good.
