Hi Slick, I'm not a huge fan of Beer or Soda so I didn't participate in this challenge. I see you opted for something different - water and kids are great. I'm glad you're photo didn't get hammered by the voters and now I wish I would have voted myself in this challenge. Hope all is well...take care - Brad
Nice DOF and comp. Lighing on product (though well presented)is a bit harsh. Nice negative space on top lends itself well to text placement. I also like how the model is looking at the camera. Tag line is original but then there should be a reference to soccer somewhere in the photo.
Really nice, skin tones and lighting on the boy are great, the down side is the bright spots and lighting on the bottle. I gave it a 6 but it would have gone up with a little better overall lighting.
You titled this photo "soccer players get an extra kick from FIJI" but I can't see that this boy is a soccer player. The image is good but if you wanted that title you should have pulled away and maybe had the kid either holding a soccer ball in one hand or standing on a soccer ball with one foot or just gone with a different title.
incredible portrait, but the bottle bugs me. Not sure why exactly, but the bottle is off. Maybe its color, or maybe its focus. Or maybe it just doesn't match the bokeh, and subject. GL, hope this comment helps.
The exposure and lighting on the boy and background is very good but the bottle (which is the main part of the challenge) is not as well exposed... and its cropped on the right... 6
