Thanks for all the comments, it was quite a difficult one to set up as i dont have any kit to do it with. just the glass table and a torch. i was quite pleased with the overall effect myself and thought it was very appealling.

Too bad you couldn't smooth out that label. Light is quite harsh at bottom of glass.

Better lighting (too bright a spot) distracts from excellent product/brand focus

Seems a tad bit over exposed at the bottom of the glass. It's distracting.

Nice use of light.

Like the mood here, but the light at the bottom is a little strong. Also, the label on the beer looks like it got too wet and wrinkled. An ad exec wouldnt want to see that. I really like the way the light reflects off the glass an onto the bottle.

Looks tasty. Lighting at the bottom is way too harsh.

Intresting light source! It's a great idea!

The glass and bottle need to be more frosted / drops of water to give it that thirst quenching appeal. Nice light, slightlu over flashed at the bottom of glass.

Not so sure I would want to tout the price in my ad LOL... otherwise a nice photo.

Nice composition but the overexposed bottom is a little distracting.

I love the light in the glass! Wish you hadn't cropped the top of the bottle, though.

Very nice. The lighting is a bit blown out at the bottom but they may be intentional. I would like to see a bit less wrinkling on the label but that may have been hard to prevent. Overall, one of the better I've seen so far.

I don't like the lighting here, does not make the beer appeal to me.

I find the spot light used to be a litle to bright. it caused a hot spot on the stem of the glass. Also the sweat in my opinion takes a lot away from the shot. Might I suggest a warm beer and a frosted/frozen glass. <5>

Good composition. Let down by wrinkled label and blown out highlights at base of glass. Feels refreshing though and thus communicates essence of a cool beer.

The amount of white on the bottom is a bit distracting from the richness of the colors, otherwise great shot.

great job with the lighting and condensation on the bottle and glass

You can tell I must have thristy. Four of my top picks are beverages! Great focus and light.

I love stella, but i think the lighting is way too harsh. I think the bottle is awesome and the glass detracts from it too much. i really like the texture the condensation gives the bottom most part of the bottel, just too harsh a light.. Maybe a scrim next time.

great title! LOL shot well composed, good "feeling" of wet/refreshment, I like the overexposed bottom of the glass and the lighting in general.

Making me thirsty, and I dont even drink beer.

Good idea to get some light in the beer but probably would have worked better with a different shape of glass.
