Marinelli\'s Sparkling Apple-Grape is non-alcoholic and therefore a soft drink, but I\'m guessing that this fact may be lost to some people, and that it might cost me. But the bottle is certainly more attractive than a pop-top can.
Tripod, manual focus, 580EX in Photek Softliter II umbrella on right, halogen light shot through reflector on left. I tried to use a flashlight to illuminate the beverage, but it just wasn\'t strong enough for the effect that I wanted.
PS rotate, crop, levels, resize, USM, saturation/lightness, save for web.
"Drink Your Apple a Day" is an old advertising slogan for Matinelli's Apple Cider. I've added to it to incorporate both grape and photography, "bouquet/boke" double-meaning and pun intented. Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Cider is really wonderful, and I recommend it highly -- try it!

I sent out thank you messages via PM, but wanted to post a general note - "Thank You" for all of the great comments. I'm glad that you mostly liked the image, and hope that you enjoy Martinelli's as much as I do.
Nicely proportioned composition. Shape of the glass offsets the shape of the bottle nicely, and the fruit balances it. And everything is so CLEAN. How long did you polish it all?
good still life, the BK is distracting mainly because it is too light. the glass/mirror table is not adding anything, use more reflections or get rid of it.
good luck
Great slogin - did you make it up? I think the only thing that really is not that great is the black part at the bottom - it is kind of distracting. Other than that I like it.
There were relatively few shots that I thought were really well done this time, but this is certainly one of them. Super colors, great arrangement, and a super job overall. Way to go!
Classic comp and still life. Perfect for and ad. This photo fits really well with this product that is nicely presented. Nice background color and lighting.
I like the light, color, composition, focus..I don't like the perspective. The edge of the table/glass seems to distract from the shot. It is a good entry for this challenge. I used to love that stuff.
