Client. Manguin No.1 Premium Absinthe
"Holiday Theme"
Photo of bottle was taken by me with 7D and 2 continuous soft boxes.

I really like how it turned out!

the text seems out of place, maybe shrink the graphics a little so the text isnt squashed to bottom

Explain Lq, It was shot a f/4 should have probably shot it a bit higher but wanted to keep the ISO at 100 for less noise. It was probably the re-sizer on deviant art!

The fairy is the logo of the absinthe haha.



They got printed!! They will go up at bars/liquor stores.


Thanks for the input guys will keep all that in mind next time, the client was satisfied so that's all that matters to an extent but the critique was good, made me question a few of my actions.

Heh, what i meant was: specks on top of the bottle cap, grain; is there a smear on the bottle neck? Strong light from both sides is not bad on glass if done correctly, but here it covers most of the label, which is main recognition for a firm if they don't have custom bottles or big marketing. However, label seems quite highly reflective, so i would probably too end up bashing my head in the studio for a few hours. Most of the premium or high ranked labels will never do this, unless they have their logo somewhere else on the poster.

Anyways, as long as your client is happy it doesn't really matter, gj! :D
