 Trying to do this with limited flash capabilities
was tough. Had white panel reflectors all over!
Had to cut holes in brown cloth under the drink and bottle to shine a light up through it.

Was trying for warm earth tones.

Looks professional, but to many feathers detract

Great shot. The copper drape gives it an elegant touch. I think you overdid the feathers a bit.

Beautiful capture with clear thought given to lighting which is key to an editorial shoot. Personally I find the background a bit odd and IMO the feathers distract a lot from the image. If they were Red Grouse dfeathers that might be different! Still an excellent shot. 9

just a little too much emphasis on your background with the matte going into shine... still, it's a compelling ad - 8.

Were any birds plucked for this photo? If so send me the bottle and deduct one point!

Less background would have allowed more focus on the product. Did you pluck a bird for this shot? :-)

No actual grouses were harmed in the making of this advertisement. Contrast and color are extremely good, but highlights are a bit harsh. Maybe a difuser (paper, white sheet, lingere?!) and a slightly longer exposure would solve that.

Composition is very unstructured, the elements don't have a visual relationship ot each other only contextual.
