This really would make a great ad!

Love the pun! Also really like the composition, and the play of movement (boat) vs stable (bottle).

I really like the flying bird. It definitely adds to the image.

I love the colors depicted here- especially the sharpness/texture given to the rock. The concept is a little loose here. How does the sail boat tie in? By choosing to keep your subject on the lower half of your image- the viewer gets a lot of empty space up top and then a boat is as dominate as your primary subject. Feels like it's competing for attention as opposed to supporting the Absolut image. The bottle just seems to be there. Also, & this is merely a pp of this challenge for me- but I would have taken the safety wrapper off!

8, because it made me laugh.

Lovely setting! I would have taken the plastic off the bottle though.
