Product Photo - 1st attempt.

[srinaldo86]

As some of you have seen I just built a back drop, and since I don't have a model to shoot, I figured I'd try a product shoot.
I had drank several of these before taking the photos so.... yeah.

Okay I'm going to start off the critique -
Its crooked
There are shadows to the left and right
The backdrop has a crease in the back
The big label is a dog eared corner, and the small label is crooked.
You can see inside the bottle and the fact that there is no liquid inside, in fact there is paper inside.

wwwaaaayyyy to much RED! That's besides the other comments.

Good point. I tried it with a white backdrop too but the lighting I have isn't even close to good enough to do it any justice.

I like it a little bit more being cropped, but I really like the label if you pay close attention you'll notice its two faces, which is why I kept the reflection.

Too much red and its too far out. I prefer the edit where the bottle is taking up more of the frame.

The obvious tilt is a no-no as well. Reflections are nice to have, but in doing product photography, you don't need to actually show the entire reflection, just a part of it.
