 i got a piece of plexiglas, and crawled around it while trying to keep it on the edge of the pool with different color bright blankets under it and a giant bottle of absolut (leftover from my dad's 80th birthday pahty, which we never opened...) and a mini bottle of the same on it... from time to time i was watering the whole construction from the watering can for dewy effect... crazy, isn't it? ask me why did i need the pool??? i do not know... i thought that the water underneath the plexi would give an interesting effect... the most exciting moment was when my husband returned from work and my giant shepherd mix basia went to say hello to him, jumping over me and my whole construction... imagine my feelings as she was galloping to the gates right thru me... but no, she jumped over the whole thing... that would've been some picture!!! got some interesting shots... i thought that i would probably need to repeat this session again without the pool, but i did like this one picture... so, here it is!

You seem to have understood the spirit of the challenge. I don't care for the abundance of reflection and glare in this composition. I find it overpowering.

You can still tell the larger bottle is Vodka, but I would have like to see a different angle to provide a better view of the big bottles' label.

Not really sure what the thing behind the vodka is, but I like the sparkling effect, diamond crisp clarity. I have to say that I don't really have a perspective of miniaturization though...

I like the colours but the composition could have been better - it doesn't seem centered or on thirds?

cool, a bit overexposed though... but cool nevertheless

I'm not a big fan of vodka, but I love the picture. The water adds shine, the pinkish orange color pops and contrasts with the blue writing. My fav so far.
