 Really happy with how this turned out. Originally planned a shot advertising makeup for this challenge but idea to use this flask I had with liqour label on it came to me in my sleep and I really liked it. So, researched some liquor that might be fit the flask idea and their labels, settling on Southern Comfort for it's shape and simple design. DLed label of net, sharpened it a bit and tweaked contrast slightly before printing it out and cutting it out with an exacto knife. A bit of wax was layers on the back of the label to affix it to the flask. Then all I had to do was get the wife to put on some of her tight, fancy jeans and a white top. Lighting was a softbox (full power) about 45 degrees from right with bare SB-25 (1/16 power) for fill from left. PP = Rotated, slight crop, very minor tweaking to levels, brightness, contrast, saturation followed by resizing and sharpening.

I like the tagline but there is something I don't really like about it. Maybe tighten it up.

The label looks a out of focus when I first looked at it. I'm now thinking that may just be the texture. Good concept.

Clever title and original idea. Comp is great and draws the viewer through the ad. A filter or a stop down or two would kill the distracting blown highlights on the shirt. Still, very nice work.

Good idea, the SoCo seems to be a bit out of focus though.
