From the Critique Club
This is an interesting take on the challenge. And you're right there is LOTS of money in bottled water.
Nice composition here. The crop is right where I would want it. The angle of the shot is also quite interesting. You can tell that it's store bought bottled water without really being able to see what brand. Nice! Compositionally the only thing I would change (since it is a set up shot) is making the set up perfect! Eithe make all the bottles face front or make them play 'follow the leader' around the 'S'. Also the line down the middle is a touch off.
Technically, this seems out of focus. Also the colors are a little dull. (maybe a lighting or post editing issue...)
All around a nice shot that with a little more playing around with it could have quite an impact!

| I like the idea and the set-up, but I'm not crazy about the background, the texture in the rug or whatever detracts from the bottles in my opinion. |

| This is an interesting shot, I wouldn't have thought of using water bottles in such a way. |

| I like the idea and the lighting creating all the exra white caps and the reflections. Unfortunately it does not look sharp. |

| This was set up so there is no excuse for the line through the S not being 100% straight. I think that if you could have have a desert background you may have had a superb expression. Cross culturally you lose quite a bit. I agree that the whole bottled water thing is ridiculous though. |

| I like both the idea and the meaning behind it, but I think the exposure could be done better. The lighting is such that it creates faint shadows - If they were either more prominent or non-existent it would create a stronger effect. The lighting also seems to be throwing off the white balance. I think the setting for the bottles is fine. With different lighting, I think this could be a very good picture. |

| funny photo. I have a very good friend who drinks nothing but bottled water, and I am always kidding her about spending so much money on water! She is coming to visit me this weekend, and yesterday I bought a supply of bottled water for her. Interesting idea! very creative!! |

| Good concept here, very imaginative, executed well, with good lighting, must have been hard to get these bottles lined up perfectly, good job |
