This display of bottles is on the back wall behind one of the bars in the Heineken Brewery, Amsterdam. I love the symmetry in this shot! Cropped and curves in PS.

My first thought upon viewing this image was "where did he find all that Heineken Beer!" And then noted you went to the source. Nice work.
You scored very well in this Challenge and your technicals are terrific as is your composition. I was tempted to say the light on the lower shelf was bit 'hot' until I realized that simply was the dramatic lighting utilized to show off the green bottles.
So, forgive me if, with your good score, and very nice image, I move on to the next image in the Critique Club queue to review after telling you,
Very good concept. Saw one like this on a billboard, so you did a fine job of depicting it in a way the advertising market would jump on. I know it is basic editing, so spot editing is not allowed, but the overexposed line at the bottom is distracting. Still, overall, you used dramatic lighting to highlight the product. 8
I like the rhythm and the perspective in this. No question what's being sold here. The light at the base of the bottles is way too much. Besides the light, maybe a different angle and a shallower DOF would make this more ad friendly.
