Nice shot Dan - there's just one thing that really bugs me about it given the technical detail you went to to capture it... and that's the crooked background!
Excellent shot Dan. I also ranked this one highly. I really like the lighting contrast between the table and the background, very nice technique. Although the tilt of the table is slightly distracting, the ring (of flammable liquid?) around the bottle was a little more distracting. But nonetheless, it is an outstanding concept and very well executed. Congrats on the ribbon!
excellent product shot. the label or whatever that is on the back side of the bottle seems to break the fluidity of color here a bit. nice job with the lighting.
This is simply amazing. I can acctually imagine my buddie Dimitri crying if he ever layed his eyes on this one. Beautiful background and lighting source, well done.
Nice idea. Isn't there a pepper flavored vodka? I like the blue and the dramatic gradient of the background. Wish the line of the table was'nt slightly tilted, and the silvery label, is it? it is a bit distracting. Nice flames, nice work with the glass. 8
Ah! The absolut vodka picture!
Great fire effect on this picture. I like the reflections of the table and the gradient background. Horizon seems a tad tilted. There is a nice contrast between the orange and the blue.
My winner in this challenge! Great idea and the color choice is perfect. Perhaps I would have liked the background line to be straight horizontal. But that is just a minor thing. Good luck!
Great image, I really like the idea, the colors, the cool blue and then the hot flames. Not sure about the angle of view, a slightly lower viewpoint and exactly from the front might have had more impact. In my top 3 for this challenge.
This is an absolutely sexy photo - my only beef is the metallic bit that's in the bottle, or behind it. I think that it attracts too much attention, makes the writing illegible, and I really can't see the signifigance of it. Other than that, I like the clarity and the shape of the flames and the blue contrast.
I really really really like this shot. Whatever it is you've got around that bottle is extremely distracting though. And since I'm not a member anymore I can't vote, just comment. Good luck! Should place top 10
