nice light on white. i know you're trying to convey something in including a sunglass and a lemon in the photo. it's a nice photograph but i'm not sure about the concept. Advertising photos should have a very strong concept communicated through an equally effective photo. it is just my opinion. still an 8.
I like this. The sunglasses are a effective prop. This needs to a bit sharper to display the product properly (I should be able to see the details in the lime) A less centered comp would be a bit more interesting and lend itself to creative text placement.
wow, it took 47 previous images before seeing the obligatory corona with lime. text on bottle isnt so sharp and the bright whiteness is attacking my retinas
Seems a little pale, like you pushed the levels too far. Top of the bottle isn't sharply focused like the sunglasses are. Good idea for props to use however. Did all the bottle have the date stamped in the top area of the bottle neck? Takes away from the overall impact some.
The ceiling lights are reflected in the glasses and kind of look like car headlights. If it had been one round burst of light, it might better play off as the sun reflecting on it.
