What is interesting about this picture is that it almost captures a "floating in midair" kind of feel. I wonder what would have happened if you could have achieved a black background by using a more light-absorbing fabric or something, but also raised the Dr Pepper up a little on some other type of object. A narrow glass with a couple of peices of gum or something would work fine.
I like the light. I don't like the reflection on the floor. I also thing it might be possible to not do the anti-reflective BG and just raise the glass up and maybe try to find a way to make the floor look more like a wall?
This isn't really that bad. I look forward to seeing your 5.3 and 6.0 entries.
i disagree with the "too dark"s if your monitor is calibrated its not too dark for the mood you were trying to achieve (which doesn't do too well on DPC, just so you know, not so you should change). However, the image has very little interest to it and the hhighlights under the can are blown.
Everyonehas to start somewhere. Welcome to DPC.
They brought this stuff out in Australia a few years ago, it did NOT take off! I couldn't swallow it! Then again you probably wouldn't eat vegemite!
I would like to see this in colour.
