This is one of many shots I made for a competition on ljosmyndakeppni.is, which I did not use there.
I put a bottle of Coce in a container with water and put it in the freezer overnight. Lit with daylight and a flash. Post-processing was Raw processing + Levels and Curves, a bit of Dodge&burn and Smart Sharpen.

Páll,
Outstanding, unique effect. Really striking! I think showing the barcode (instead of the front label) made this something more than a "product shot."
That is quite an interesting shot. The patterns in the ice are eye-catching. I haven't quite seen it before. Remember to properly face your labels. If you can show more of the big label and less of the bar code it will be more appealing. Perhaps if you had a different background color (white or blue) the signature red coke label will be better displayed. Congrats overall.
