OMG, my first 7+ AND a blue ribbon.
What a way to wake up this morning.
Thank you all for your votes and the great comments.
It will take me a while to cool down from this excitement. May be a beer might help :)
The set up:
I used 2 difused continues light elevated over the bottle to the left and right (fill)and a flash light.
I did not want a hand to show in the picture, so my wife had to reverse the way to open the bottle, away from her.
I have to admit that the initial idea was to freeze the droplets coming out of the shaken - not stirred - bottle.
But after the second try, I realized that showing the motion had more impact. The 6th bottle showed the best result.
Thanks again of your overwhelming responses. It's a great community here at DPC!

Heini! Congratulations on your first ribbon and a beautiful BLUE one at that!!!! Woooooo Hooooo! I look forward to seeing many more from you. (Gosh...I feel like a beer to help you celebrate...will you open it for me? hehe!)
lol...the sixth bottle showed the best...You must not have been drinking the other 5 as you opened them otherwise you wouldn't have been able to tell what was best lol. Very cool image and perfectly executed...congrats.
Congrats on your blue! Very highly deserved and matches that rich background color perfectly :-) This has a lot of impact and could be a Bud advertisement. Wonderful work!
There's an overwhelming response becauuse it is an overwhelmingly AWESOME photo! Wow! This is absolutely perfect execution! What a refreshing, beautiful photo! Budweiser would do well to pay you big bucks for the right to use this in their advertising.
Congratulations on a MOST deserving #1 finish with this photo!
Very nice effect with the water, it´s what makes the shot as far as I am concerned, a bit bored with splash shot´s as they are so easy to do. Don´t really care for the light glare on the bottle wich can only be fixed with better lighting but other than that this image is spot on. Faved it, I want to try this water motion myself sometime.
Love this photo. Hate the beer.
you should market it this to Anheuser-Busch, tho. They'd probably wanna use it.
You should put it on YouTube and see how people react to it too.
Congrats on your first ribbon and new high score! This captures the concept perfectly. Your creativity has really shown through in your recent entries. :)
Nice image. I would score this higher if there were some fill light to lessen the harsh light reflection on the bottle. I do like the little Psshhh near the bottle cap. Well done.
Psshhhh...
