I like this, I would have made it look more "woodsy" though - lose the vase and white background - add more flowers and make it look like it's fresh lilacs in a can. Maybe a little less shadow on left, but the clarity is good. Nice photo.
you need to get way back on full tele to avoid distortion, lovely lilac colours - not keen on their choice of light yellow can top & graphic - I think you would have chosen a better colour combination! had same problem with my shot with shadows.
I can see this was cropped out of a larger picture, getting the subject better lit from the left and not shot down on would have helped. Also the can appers slightly canted to the side. I think it is nice that there is one flower on the table by the can is a nice touch intentionally or not. Not your fault, but the yellow can lid donesnt make me think of lilac's.
oh man, i need this stuff for my coworker. she stinks! i feel the colors are a bit flat and washed out. how could you improve this? maybe not use on camera flash, rather use some desk lamps to get some specific directional lighting on the subject and highlight the colors of specific areas. maybe play with the white balance some, too.
Colors seem a bit pale, did you make the label on your computer? If so, I think a glossy paper might have reflected light better, and given more texture to the shot
Nice work! Is this a real product or did you make the label yourself? Either way, its excellent! Since there is one petal detached and on the base, I actually think a few more like it could have been nice too! Very nice work!
