Critique Club Review:
Color, Saturation, and Hue: Colors are good, nothing is over saturated, hues appear realistic.
Brightness and contrast: I'm not sure exactly what you were going for here. The sand appears to be a little under lit, for a daytime shot. If you were going for a evening sundown tropical shot, then it could work.
Focus and depth of field: Both are done very well. Nice sharp focus, and the sand in the background goes soft, as it should if it is representing a beach.
I'm taking this as a representation of a giant bottle of beer near a sandy beach and small island. I like the lighting, and the underlight to light the beer is a neat idea. Kind of a beer lighthouse... The grain in the picture does distract a bit. Perhaps a longer exposure at ISO 100 would cure this. The light under the beer gives itself away at the front of the bottle. Perhaps a smaller hole, or putting the beer "ashore" with some beach in front of it, would hide the bright area in the bottom of the glass. I would also like to see the bottle not cut off in the reflection. Now if you would have had access to some tiny palm trees, and a sky with clouds....
All in all a very entertaining shot and a nice play on Corona Light, with the light. |

| The bottle is very well lit and the bottle opener is a good prop. Looks a bit lost in the rest of the scene though, perhaps a tighter view with less of the reflection would be an option? Still clear top 10 stuff though. |

| Could have benefited more if the subject and the horizon where slightly off-center (Rule of Thirds). 4/10 |

| I like the simplicity of it, and i like the blue contrast with yellow. i do though not like the noise and im not sure really what the sand and stuff in the left is for. |

| Love the lighting here -- but there seems to be a lot of noise in the image. Still, very well executed. |

| I like the reflection. Although the shot is a little noisy due to high ISO I guess. |
