Cool idea and I like the execution - it works fine for me that the blue screen text is a little out of focus.

More of an advtg parody than an ad

Superb idea, and nicely done.

I gave this shot a high score because I thought it was clever, even if people outside of this forum might not ever get it :) But we're not worried about other people, so that doesn't matter. You did a good job on the focus and capturing a computer monitor, and have a nice themed color with everything having a blue look to it. Good job.

I love the idea! You can read the words on the screen and yet there is still good focus on the bottle.
Post actions
Nice shot, title plays in well also
Post actions
well, that stuf won't help. nice shot though

Love the bottle, not thrilled with the background.

Nice shot, very detailed.

Maybe if you squirt a few drops of vodka into the "cereal port" ... I find the vertical reflection on the neck a little harsh and distracting (if not limited by DPC specs I'd crop off a little more); otherwise I like it a lot.
Post actions
I decided to come back and look it over again. Raised your score considerably. Bottle is a nice sharp image.
Post actions
The blue looks good on the bottle. You need to have more of the name visible though.
Post actions
you should have tried to get the whole absolut name in the picture, and maybe tried to get a clearer image of the blue screen. i like it though, especially the pissed old man

Did you try any with the text visible through the bottle? Might have been interesting. Loads of blue channel noise made more evident by the sharpening - reduces the clarity of the glass. Actually, there's what's bothering me - between the noise and not being able to see anything but blue screen behind the glass, the bottle could almost be opaqe. Still in my top 10. Nice work.

Excellent!! Very creative. I think I will buy some. I might have shown a little more of the word 'Vodka' and minimized the reflection behind that word. Very good all the same.
Post actions
he he ... I'm sure we're all with you there :) Being an advertisement though, I'd rather see the full label of the bottle
Post actions
must have taken a long time to get the background set up:) Nicely done, well focused - might have prefered the whole seal in the shot.
Post actions
Boy, there is alot of who drink this stuff. Never even heard of it. :) I like it and didn't even have to read the title to figure it out, But I don't think it is wise to drink when you get frustrated. ;) Great picture.
Post actions
beautiful ... clean, clear and well conceived this gets a 10!
Post actions
like the cropping, and colouring

I'm a network administrator. Not only am I giving this a 10, I'm printing it out and hainging it on my wall!
Post actions
ah yes. i know this feeling well. great concept/shot.
Post actions
Good use of audience knowledge! I like the way you framed it - just enough to identify each element

Lol, the infamous blue-screen, nice shot, like the blues
Post actions
creative, but the blue screen of death doesnt seem to have much of an association with absolut. great photo though.
Post actions
Clever! Too bad this is a very familiar sight for me (well, not so much the vodka, but the screen)
Post actions
The "blue screen of death" has made me want to drink a lot of Vodka too.
Post actions
Great photo, but not the best advertisement.
Post actions
Post actions
Brilliant! More of the product name would of been nicer but you still know what is going on.
Post actions
Ah! I recognise that familiar screen. And yes, by the way it does still appear in windows XP. I know, i`ve seen it enough.
Post actions
cute idea.. but something is lost with so much blue.

My system usually becomes unstable when i get into the vodka too! I need a shirt that says "CTRL+ALT+DEL" to wear when i go out for a few drinks :) Nice composition here... I like the crop you chose as well :)

VERY nice photo. Photo 10 Advert 10 total 10
