Critique Club Review:

Technical: Focus and depth of field are spot on. Color, saturation and hue are realistic, which is needed for this type of image.

Reaction: I like the way the beer glass fades to black. Gives a bit of extra feel to the image. Could also be a subliminal message that the calories seem to dissapear. Would also leave room for needed text, were this a real beer ad.

If we were looking at real beer ads; the image here while very well done, never shows the name on the bottle or on the glass. For a real ad this would be a sin. Personally I like a little thicker head.

Overall a very good and convincing photo. I wouldn't be suprised to see on like this in a magazine, or on a billboard.

i really like your idea of having the fade off effect at the bottom, very cool. second thing that came to mind was how interesting would it have been to have the bottle pouring straight on to keep a very weird symmetricalness to the image, to enchance the odd lighting

I really like this.Nice and subtle with lots of negatie space (I.E. room for text.) Lighting on the label is a bit harsh but that's a small repairable item. The advetising world isn't constrained by basic editing rules. Very very nice ad and presentation of product.

7: Good lighting, it draws attention to the pouring beer well.

Nice shot with good composition and light; however, I think I'd like to see just a bit more of the glass here.
10/04/2006 05:05:49 PM
Very dark
10/04/2006 04:50:06 PM
needs more light

Really effective shot, but I don't think the "marketing" people would like it without the brand name included in the shot
10/04/2006 05:32:22 AM
great simplicity, this would sit well on the back of a magazine
10/04/2006 02:11:12 AM
Would like to be able to see the product better.
10/04/2006 01:37:56 AM
i like how the glass disappears into the darkness nothingness.
10/04/2006 12:41:19 AM
