It is really cool how the bottles are lighted to accentuate the shapes and contours. I am thinking that more randomness might be even cooler. Maybe the bottles moving more off into the BG and the space between them increasing (decreasing). Something to add to the randomness of the bottle placement. Either that of have everything anal-ized.
The high key effect works great here, along with the negative space. This is just really cool, and makes me wonder what your other hobby is besides collecting used beer bottles? j/k. My only nitpick is how the bottles on left seems a bit lower than on right.
An odd question - did you add white space to get the crop you have? I ask because the bottles are all lined up so nicely in plane - meaning you'd be a ways back from them, or used a wide angle lens then corrected for it. At any rate, this is a good shot - I could see it being used for advertising - and the company that chose to use it could photoshop in the labels of their choice!
About thirty percent of the white background is photoshopped in.

I like it! I love everything about how you did this. The great use of negative space, and I like it that the bottles don't go all the way to the other side. I might like them all perfectly straight -- but they look great like they are too. They kind of give the feel that they were all drank by the same person, one right after the other :)
Nice, I am curious about your set up. Any special lighting or other details?
Nope, just a big white bristol board, lighting from a window, a shiny countertop for the reflections. Lots of levels and curves to give it the high key look.
Wow, I'd have trouble just holding the camera after a 12-pack! I really like the unbalanced look of this. The reflections, and the use of all that negative space add a lot to the photo. Very nice.
