About the photo:
I placed the bottle in the middle of the composition as most beer commercials do to create "static" for the eye. (If you keep looking at it, it sales) The tight crop on top was to not let the viewer’s eye escape the scene. (Once again another advertisers "trick") And for the "sensor dust" well that is good ol' warm Pacific Ocean mist on my filter. The location is Lanikai, Hawaii on the island of Oahu.

Congratulations on the ribbon Daniel! It's a wonderful photo and well deserving of a ribbon.
It's curious that lots of people mentioned the sensor spots, which is a very minor problem and easily fixed, but nobody mentioned the unevenly polarized sky, which often happens when you use a polarizing filter with a wide angle lens.
Makes me think of my favorite place, Mexico! I like the reflection of the bottle although there is a little too much background. Maybe if the right side of the photo was cropped off, one would be more focused on the beer. Nice work!
I love the depth of field and the composition is dead on. The clouds lead me right to the point. However, you seem to have some sensor dust along the top 3rd of this image. 7, without the dust an easy 8
Great idea! I love carona's commercials and this could be a still shot from one of them. Great choice of local for your shoot. Comp alllows for east text placement but I'd like to see a tighter crop for two reasons; you could present the product more prominently and it could adjust the comp to be a bit more off centered to make it a bit more interesting.
... Oh dear. I feel badly for the other Corona entries. I think I like one I've seen better than this one, maybe? (I am not a huge fan of your border, and I think the lighting was maybe too harsh. (But overall this really is a good shot.) ) But this just has such a WOW factor for anyone who has seen the Corona ads with the beach. I have to hand it to you for a wonderful concept.
I must say this really looks like something from a Corona commercial. Great Job! The only thing I would have liked to see would be little higher crop on the sky. But seriously this was a WOW. 10
This is really nice but it could be perfect with a few adjustments. A different crop so the bottle is not so centered. Cleaning your sensor before so there are no specks. Straighten your horizon.
Straight out of their campaign... except for that sensor dust. :-( Still, nicely done. Might move the framing and/or the bottle so the bottle is a little further left in frame, though. Too centered for my personal tastes, anyway.
Yumm, very good, actually makes me want one :o) Beautiful surrounding - mmm, wish I was there... good colors, clear and well taken, doesn´t bother me that the bottle is almost in the middle - 10
