Taken on today's micro meet, Leigh I'll post these just for you... (hopefully) these two shots are unique to me, and no one else sniped my "product placement".

Fire away, any feedback welcome (no PP done, just resize and sharpen), which do you prefer portrait or landscape ?

*NEW* This one sort of fitted in better here.

Portrait, but the image looks a bit cool on my LCD...

Craig

Definitely portrait and I agree - the grey of the binoculars is a little too blue - needs to be warmed slightly (maybe pop your CF card in the microwave for 10 seconds)

Children - please obtain parental permission before using this photographic technique

Most certainly the landscape - the bottle leads the eye towards the out of focus background in a way that makes it part of a whole instead of the whole

Chris,

You are absolutely right. I just had a less cursory look and have now changed my mind Craig - the landcscape is the go, dump the portrait.

I like them both, I like the OOF background in the landscape.. but the actually bottle almost looks like it's been PS in... it doesn't look like its sitting there if that makes sense ?

I like the last one . That looks really cool .Making me thirsty even . To make me break the glass and reach in to my screen i'd crop a bit off the left side .

On the money Chris. Gee, a cool drink for a hot day and you guys want to warm it up, cumon! The landscape for sure. #3 does it for me. It's a great image. Straighten rail remove that little corner bit in bottom left and it's a real advertising winner Alpha
cheers

Nicely executed Craig.

Reprocess with white balance at 6000 Kelvin and you'll see an improvement in warmth.
