For those of you who asked, yes, black vodka really does exist, and it's very nice too! :o)

They use a herb to stain it a very dark green, nearly black, and it makes the vodka just a tiny bit smoother :o) Enough of the plug, back to the photo! The shot was light by sunlight alone, but I was playing about with aperture & shutter settings, so ended up with a very blue shot. I got most of it black by readjusting the levels, but couldn't get it as dark as I had hoped, hence its a bit over exposed looking. The focus was a pain, as I wasn't able to get the depth I wanted, so I went with the focus on the 'pure black vodka', since that's what I was trying to sell.
Final thing - the reason this doesn't show any more of the bottle or its enjoyment was that I was trying to sell the name, ie create brand awareness, rather than the physical product.
Nice photo. My personal preference would be to see the whole bottle but that's because I'm not familiar with this brand and I think it would help others like me to identify the product. Otherwise, this is nicely presented.
Just so fine, but you know that. Might have been more effective cropped top, bottom and left to remove the lighting glare and airspace in the bottle - would have tightened everything up a bit for better or worse, but them's pretty small pomme de terre. Congratulations!
The concept and angle on this photo is really nice. The lighting is just a little bright and the focus on the bottle logo deteriorates significantly towards the bottom of the bottle. I'm not sure what camera is in use here, but there is possibly a better exposure setting for this shot. I would try it with a smaller aperture and a longer shutter speed... I would also attempt to make the lighting a little less obtrusive. Nice job!
Interesting angle! Good photo. (not specific to you, but how do you show "enjoyment" of alcohol {product you are selling} in this ad?) Photo 9 Advert 7 total 8
