 I used a red blanket on my bed as a backdrop. 4 small led booklights were the only light source in the room. I angled them specifically to hit certain parts of the inside of the bottle. I love all of the different colors the long exposure produced: reds, purples, and deep yellows.

The keys are a little darker than I wanted, but every time i tried to light them up it made the label way too bright. I think it still looks nice with them partially silhouetted.

Captain Morgans has to be one of the worst rums about... it is the enemy of the rum drinker. I like the idea of linking alcohol and driving as enemies, so the idea is brilliant... but the keys are a little lost, the composition isn't great, the shallow DOF doesn't help the image, not does the lighting. And what is that in the bottle (center bottom)? Very distracting...

Nice idea. It would be better (IMO) if the keys were more prominent.

Great idea and choice of subjects but I'm not sure about the result, it's hard to read.
