Very clever shot, love the reflections and composition of it.

At the larger size I'd say a lack of real sharpness is shown and there are burnt out areas which may well be deliberate for all I know. So in summary I preferred the small version

Great idea but the reflections are the wrong way round or was that a bit of judge bait.

Like the idea, both composition and colour.

Why not stick to the "standard" 800 pixels longest side? Suits the Internet viewing perfectly.

Hi!
I like the idea, reflections and composition too. I, however, would prefer the one with the smaller text to be in the front because I had problems reading it. Also I'm not sure about the amount of liquid there is in the bottles. Looks like the Joop bottles suffer from having too little liquid in them, as I feel that on the green Joop the text is partially 'halved' and bit awkward to read. The red Joop has a similar problem in my eyes. The middle bottle is also bit in the dark. I may be too critical though. Just my 2 cents.
Regards,
Tobio

Nice lighting, looks very slick. Agree with Mike the larger size could be slightly crisper but it seems pretty decent as is. Good idea with the hole in the paper, I tried something like this recently and it didn't work out so well. (link)
I also noticed the wrong reflections, I think that would be worth fixing. Also it may just be a result of the lighting, but the two bottles on the right don't look vertical.

Thanks folks useful crit as always. Well spotted on the reflections. I agree about the burnt out areas, very difficult to get even lighting with the LED torch. Couldnt do much about the levels in the bottles, didn't want to dilute my aftershave.

I wouldn't have a clue how to go about something like this. Very slick and professional in feel and with relatively modest equipment too. I guess one could play about with the lighting, arrangement and alignment of the bottles to perfect the set up.
Well done!
Well done!
Best wishes,

No offence that's not to the standard a professional with a given brief would/should achieve. Lovely idea but the image wouldn't go to 20x16 still less 20x40 or whatever.

The quality of the final image does not quantify the content, nor the line of thought into producing it, IMO.
Many many professionals relied on master printers to get the final image to show quality.
But this is only hot air and caries no weight of argument in this particular case.
Best regards and respect.
