For those of you who asked, yes, black vodka really does exist, and it's very nice too! :o)
US site - www.blackvodka.com
UK site - www.blavod.com
They use a herb to stain it a very dark green, nearly black, and it makes the vodka just a tiny bit smoother :o) Enough of the plug, back to the photo! The shot was light by sunlight alone, but I was playing about with aperture & shutter settings, so ended up with a very blue shot. I got most of it black by readjusting the levels, but couldn't get it as dark as I had hoped, hence its a bit over exposed looking. The focus was a pain, as I wasn't able to get the depth I wanted, so I went with the focus on the 'pure black vodka', since that's what I was trying to sell.
Final thing - the reason this doesn't show any more of the bottle or its enjoyment was that I was trying to sell the name, ie create brand awareness, rather than the physical product.
Thanks for all your comments! |

| Did you try rotating -pi/2? I suppose you wanted the name to be readable. In that case, better focus would have helped. Good job, though. |

| Wish the lettering towards the bottom of the bottle was sharper. |

| I've always had a problem reading the red-on-black motif. Maybe more contrast would help here. |

| Interesting perspective. I little too bright around the edges, I think |

| Nice photo. My personal preference would be to see the whole bottle but that's because I'm not familiar with this brand and I think it would help others like me to identify the product. Otherwise, this is nicely presented. |

| If the black was a bit more saturated, I think this would have been a great shot. |

| Stylish. I could see this being used as an ad. Nicely done. |

| Just so fine, but you know that. Might have been more effective cropped top, bottom and left to remove the lighting glare and airspace in the bottle - would have tightened everything up a bit for better or worse, but them's pretty small pomme de terre. Congratulations! |

| I like it a lot. It would make a great ad. Great lighting. I give it a ten. |

| i think looking up rather than down would have worked better. also i dont think the over exposure really works. it doesnt bring out the 'blackness'. |

| I find the reflection on the top of the bottle a little distracting apart from that a good product shot. |

| Wow, never knew there was such a thing as Black Vodka. Did you bring enough for the whole class?? Very nice shot. |

| Like the angle, but the brightness is distracting. Seems too faded to me. |

| nice ad shot, good angle. Like the depth of field effect. |

| The concept and angle on this photo is really nice. The lighting is just a little bright and the focus on the bottle logo deteriorates significantly towards the bottom of the bottle. I'm not sure what camera is in use here, but there is possibly a better exposure setting for this shot. I would try it with a smaller aperture and a longer shutter speed... I would also attempt to make the lighting a little less obtrusive. Nice job! |

| i like how the white letters leap out...i'm curious because i've no clue, is there really a black vodka and does it have a 'flavor'? |

Interesting angle! Good photo. (not specific to you, but how do you show "enjoyment" of alcohol {product you are selling} in this ad?)

| Impressive focal point. You've focused on exactly what the subject is. I think rotating it 90cw would make it even better. |
|

| This would work better as a ad if it were not blur. I love the background and even the angle. Just needs to be more in focus. |

| Nice photo, but maybe a little too much glare. |
