Hey all,
Interested in your opinion or these shots. I really like them :lol: but I'd like to hear what you think, what needs improving etc.
Thanks
K

Oh Crap! :shock: Sorry, I forgot how big these images are when not "resized" by the screen.
I will fix the sizing when I get home in a couple of hours.
Sorry again! :oops:

Bloody alcoholics :)

K - I like them, but the first seems a little soft, and maybe too saturated? I would have turned the bottle around also - to show the 'face label' instead of the back. Bloody good try though !!! Especially after drinking all of the smirnoff in order to take the shot - and now I know you like vodka :) ;)

hic! I mean, thanks!
When I first took the shot I was thinking "stock photograph" and that's why I had the label around the other way. I may have to reshoot - maybe I'll try scotch instead. :lol:

Images have been sensibly resized! I have also tweaked the saturation on the Vodka bottle a little

I actually like these shots and their potential. As I think you already realise, the base of the single glass would be a nice inclusion but you've managed to capture (in the real sense of the word) some neat light patterns in it and I don't necessarily think the lack of a base detracts from it at all.

The pinkish/red of that bottle top seems at odds with the label on the back. I know you've only started playing with Photoshop but I hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs here: Try selecting the red bits (magic wand tool or 'Select/Colour Range' would be useful) and altering the colour (try Image/Hue-Saturation, tick the colourise box and alter the hue and saturation sliders).

Kindly ignore this post if you're happy with the colour as it is!!! :wink: :)
