 Torch lighting the bottle from below through a hole in the table. Last minute decision to enter challenge after getting hold of a bottle. All my ideas were lost once I missed the sunset. However, I'm not too unhappy with what I came up with.

Lets see, the reasons I predict this will not much more than low 5's is that the overall lighting is not that good. DoF too small (original shot shows whole helmet so I wanted to bokeh the background). Can't see the whole bottle so it misses the iconic shape. And just not that funny.

Still, I had fun and I'm hoping for some comments pointing out things I could have done better that I have missed.

I didn't get that it was a helmet either until now. LOL I just liked the lighting and the way it was sort of "cocooned" within the background. :)

Took me a little while to realize this was in a helmet. I think this could be improved by zooming out a bit, and including more the helmet. Great lighting in the bottle.

I really like the lighting of the bottle but the reflection and dirt on top of the helmet or too distracting for me.

takes a wee bit of working out that it's inside a helmet (i think)
7 from me that would have been higher with a tad more light on the exterior.

In terms of an advertisment... I don't really like the way this one suggests the thought of drink driving (at least it does to me).
