Lessons learned:
* Do not start taking the photograph (or start using Photoshop) just a few hours before the competition closes.
* Do not use your (clean) desk to place the subject on. Rather place it on a 'cleaner' surface, e.g. a sheet of paper. This will hopefully eliminate dust problems, and yellow shadows.
* Send it to DPC as the biggest 150 Kbyte JPEG file you can, not as a 60 Kbyte file. They re-compress the image, e.g. causing the texture of the cap to look like dust. Especially the thumbnail looks bad.
* Watch the reflections e.g. in the bottle. Try maybe another sheet of paper.
* Check the shadows under the bottle to get the shadow's curve looking right.
* Watch out for printed letters e.g. on the cap or the bottle.

| the yellow behind the bottlecap is odd. It looks like you kicked up the saturation of red and yellow a whole lot. |

| I like the idea but I think the actual photo could have been done better. The first tip would be to clean the cap and the surface that you are using for the picture. |
