 This is my first entry, and I'm very much a novice. I had to take this photo fast as the bottle top was beginning to melt, and I was worried the extreme heat might cause the bottle to explode.

Love the background it plays very well.
Really want to go higher but would have liked to see maybe just a little more light on the label great job

i think the details on the bottle needed to stand out a little more, otherwise this is pretty good.

The background adds contrast to the top of the bottle

The photograh is good, hot sauce and the desert, but the bottle doesn't make sense

The bottle is a little too fuzzy for my taste.

Nice product placement and display as far as comp goes. Text would fit in well and I like how the DOF helps define the comp. My only pick would be that the light on the product needs to be brighter. Hot sauce should visually slap you in the face.

The label is a bit too dark to be selling this product, in my opinion. The layout/composition/idea is good... it just has to compete too much with the brightness of the fire, in my opinion.

Needs some white adjust, needs to be just a little cooler. And needs some sharpness to punch it up. Looks slightly OOF. Good, though.

A little on the flat side for this hot product. Levels would have helped brighten up the label and tone down the distracting light above the bottle.

I want this sauce! I can never find blair's sauces anywhere, where did you get this bottle?

I like the whole setup and atmosphere. Shot just looking a little flat. Some tweaking without blowing the background via levels could do the trick.
