so here's how this came together, and why the ripped label, etc.:
at first I only wanted to take a picture of a glass with bubbles and lemon. After taking some shots, I thought it needed something more, though. So I looked in the fridge and there was that orange seltzer water bottle. So I put it in for some test shots, and really liked how it added to the composition of the scene. Then I noticed the label was ripped, but by then it was late on Sunday and I didn't really care that much. After all, it's just an exercise. But yeah, the bottle was added as an after-thought.
I really enjoyed working with backlit transparent objects, and I hope to do some more stuff along these lines in the future. |

| The Seltzer water is blocked out by the glass, not a good idea to hide what you're selling. |

| Since your water is mandarin orange, I might have used a slice of orange instead of a lemon - or maybe nothing in the water, since it's supposed to be so 'great' already, maybe some oranges cut up around the edges and in background? |

| Cropping could have been better and I am a little distracted by the choice of design on glass. I feel it would have been better if the glass were plain to let the condensation take over. |

| The torn label bothers me a *little* bit, but I think I would have liked it better if the background was a different color. |

| Nice presentation. It would sell the soda water to me. It's got me thirsty just looking at it. |

| Heh-heh, I must be tired cause I see all kinds of things in that orange slice. Nice job. |

| The glass is very nicely done (althouh it would be better, IMO, with a little frontal lighting to keep the lemon from going so dark), but that bottle... half(?) empty and with a torn label isn't the most appealing. |

| Nice sharp image. Seems to be an awfully tight shot? The product (bottle) is not very appealing. Good effort. |

| I like the angle, and the composition. I would have liked a bottle without a ripped label better though, other than that it does make me thirsty so it must be a good ad :> |

| Like the ice cube/lemon effect, but the generic seltzer water combined with the leaf patterns on the glass reduces its effectiveness. |

| very good ad---makes one's mouth water. took off one point due to missing part on label |

| ivy in the glass is distracting but the photo is nice I like the adition of the lemon and the soda bubbles |

| Refreshing! Cropped a little too tight at top for my taste, though. But, good idea anyway. |

| Nice shot. I think I would have pulled back the tiniest bit to include the top of the bottle instead of barely cropping it out of the shot. I also think an orange slice might have been more appropriate than lemon since it's orange flavored seltzer -- it also would have echoed the color of the bottle nicely. The only other thing is that little ripped out portion of the label. |

| Excellent, but is there a reason why the label is ripped. I'm sure everyone is asking this question. |

I like the brightness of this picture. It shows the freshness of the water very well. I think it's disturbing that the bottle is not standing straight though.
BTW: it looks there's a piece of lemon in the glass, instead of mandarin/orange :-) |

| I like the lighting. The pattern on the glass actually becomes a distraction though... Otherwise really nice. |

| A beautiful shot, the green pattern on the glass takes a way from the shot just a little bit though. |

| Your sponsor would fire you for having such a good looking glass cover up his product. What's with the missing piece of label too! |

| looks tasty, but an orange slice would have brought the point home more. |

| Looks good enough to drink to me. Don`t know if you chose that glass but pattern on it works well with the lemon. |

| Good photo, good Advert, more "gotcha" appeal than most. Photo 10 Advert 10 Creativity 9 Total 9 (I am pretty hard pressed to give a 10 overall to anybody) |

| the design on glass is distracting, as is the rip in the product label, the lemon slice is definitely out of place in an orange flavored drink....sorry, this 'ad' has no appeal for me |
|

| This is a very nice effort! i would like it better if the bottle top was not cropped out and the tear on the bottle label hurts just a bit too :) |

I really like the ice and the lemon. The leaves aren't clear enough and look out of place here. The product name?? It's not visable and the top of the bottle is cut off.
This is a good photo don't get me wrong, just need to see more of it. |

I like this add a lot. I like the angle..maybe get even more of an upward angle and the perfect finish?
Use an ORANGE slice instead of a lemon!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| I think a completely clear glass would have worked better, but very nice photo nonetheless |

| I would have given this a much better vote if the label wasn't ripped. |

| This is good. But if you are selling a product I would think the product would be more viewable. Also doesn't look good with part of the wrapper missing. |
