I thought it might be a Coke can, the logo was definitely there, but then the dots on the screening of the red printed area sure looks to me like some type of cloth material. Being fairly sure Coke is not distributing soft drinks in denim (yet), I was very confused. For a time. Still concur with my earlier opinion that it is a very well put together image.


Dave, just wanted to say thanks for your enthusiastic comments and support. I appreciate you taking the time to not only comment, but also to come back and follow up. Cheers!!

The composition and lighting really makes this standout. Great use of DOF having the focus fade away at the top. Very nice!

Perfect sync with the assignment. What the heck is this? I can't tell on first OR second glance. Love the texture and balance of form, focus and background "blur". This rates a new photographic rule: The rule of four fifths. And it works flawlessly. I'm really waiting patiently for the details on this shot.
