PXL Shots

Simply nice - well done.

Wow, very very nice. great composition and focus, if it wasnt for the reflection i would say perfect.

Well done.

nice shot.

wow great shot

great background! nice, something different.

i LOVE the choice of background. its perfect!

excellent, i like it so much

cool shot

you want to feel fresh like a spring meadow! best one i've seen so far the bottle against the blue background and the DoF was a fantastic idea

This is awesome!

tie is not needed. overall great!

kentkent. In my view, the tie inclusion is definetely not questionable. It's just another accessory. In this particular case, the tie is where most of the times the fragrance is sprayed or sprinkled on.

Fantastic set up ..

i like how the watchband is out of focus in the front...nice shot

too manly... lol!

nice composition

very nice

i don't like the candle in the shot, lets see you want to smell like a modern chique man.

the candle balances the picture but you might have used something else

maybe the candle repsents a little touch of romance to his manly scent, something about his soft side. I like this would make a good magazine shot

Epazia, I can understand you dislike the candle in the shot. In terms of likes, there's nothing written, it's all very abstract and personal. So, it's hard to please everyone and it's even harder to reach a unanimous opinion about anything. For instance, I know people who worship Picasso and others despise his work. Don't get me wrong, I'm not whatsoever comparing this humble photo with Picasso´s work.

Regarding, the setting of the candle in the picture all I can say is it was conceived like that on purpose. Firstly, the shot was taken at a really low speed with a long time of exposure and in a dark environment, I needed some light. Seconly, the light of the candle was intended to pass through the glass to reflect the yellow color of the tie and get that yellowish shade to make the name of the perfume look conspicuous and also to highlight the reflection of the drops of water on the crystal for the perfume's name is Acqua...= Water. The main goal was that of resembling one of those advertisements you find on a magazine as outbackjack suggested.

you might want to read the contest guideline, my comment referred to rather you were bringing both elements into the shot if you cannot stand the heat get out of the kitchen

That's right I hadn't even read the guidelines. I thought it was all about showing a bottle of perfume. It's OK. This isn't hot in here at all, this is all for fun or at least that's the way I see it. As I'm new here I don't know how things work yet. If there's no animosity on your behalf there isn't animosity on my side either. Huge misunderstanding.

(Sigh!!!) Joop is my favorite scent for men.

Like the lighting, but it'd be nice to be able to see the cap some

I shot it from this angle to give it a touch of magnificence.It's my favorite after all...

Well done.

good lighting

great angle

nice angle

i see the bottle but nothing in the shot that indicates what it makes you want to smell like when you wear it

RED...the colour of passion...the color of LOVE.
I love to smell like that.

I like the addition of the blue flowers.

I agree with TRussotto.

Beautiful entry.

Well done!

great shot

the blue flowers just make it.
