Wow! What a nice surprise! I just got back home, after being out of country (and with no chance to check to see how my pic was doing). Thank you all for the comments that I have gotten, both on this picture and my first entry (the "Extraordinary" challenge). As I am fairly new to the world of digital photography and the digital darkroom, I appreciate all the input you give me!

Once more; Thanx!

nice beer shot. my suggestions would be to back off the USM. logo looks like it was added on - different sharpening, less foam detail. the glass has some dark spots that distract, looks like dirt. may be foam shadows that were over sharpened. you're on the edge for contrast - good control! saturation is good, it would be fun to print as a large - wall size image! thanks for sharing!

not entirely fond of the crop or loss of detail on the left for an advertisement. But nice color and texture overall.

Funny, but "Probably" is exactly what Carlsberg says, the title is exactly what Carlsberg uses in their advertisements. The Danish law does not allow you to say you are "the best" since you can't prove it.

Excellent shot Auduna, makes me thirsty even on a Monday morning.

Great photo that very well could be in a magazine. The head (foam) is perfect...great colors and composition. 10

Simple. Colorful. Very real looking (like a real ad).

yummy!

More foam pouring over the side of the glass woulf have improved the appeal of the drink.

A most impressive entry even if slightly overshatpenned.

Very nice, perhaps a little extra contrast might give the image more impact.

Very good and I like it.

I would have liked to have seen the bubbles running down the glass crisp and sharp rather than blurred.

very nice crisp, colorful image. Makes me thirsty. the top foam is maybe a bit too yellow, but overall still very appealing.

Nice coloring and lighting glowing through.

Very nicely done--lighting, detail are great.

Awesome shot!

This is something I would expect to see in a print ad.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

very classy with great color...makes me want to go get a beer!

This works. Makes me want to wet my lips. It is much harder than people think to take a good product shot. You have done it.

That slogan was imprinted in my brain during EURO 2004, over and over and over.
Anyway, good shot, but the shot looks a bit slanted, should have cropped to straighten out.

Classic shot very well executed. Essentially the perfect image for the challenge. Hope you ribbon.

This one stands out! Clear, excellent light, inviting, luscious (and I don't even like beer!). Superb.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Excellent. Deserves to be in the top three. Good composition and lighting.

Not sure that Carlsberg would say probably! But I like the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/07/2004 09:32:41 PM
Never heard of Carlsberg before, but appealing none the less. Would like to have seen the bottom half of the glass, but overall nice clarity color and focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/07/2004 06:24:04 PM
Very refreshing. I could see this in an ad.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/07/2004 11:07:23 AM
Excellent shot. The foam is a bit washed out at the top. Maybe bump the brightness down a notch or the contrast up a notch.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
07/07/2004 07:39:37 AM
Wish i could see the whoel glass, but this works ok to. What i really think woudl improve this shot though, is it the foam had been paler and more white. I think it is a bit to yellow no, to look natrual
