It will be worth the effort :D

I built a table-top studio and I was experimenting with lights, angles, and apertures. Keeping a glare completely off the glass was next to impossible... C&C will be very appreciated.

BTW, it says "Russia Standard" (or Russian) on the bottle in case anyone was wondering.

I hope you brought enough to share with the whole class.........:thumbsup:

Good job. The reflection of the bottle in the glass doesn't bother me as much as the reflection of the orange. My eye was kind of drawn to that, just because it seems out of place.

Thank you Joe for the C&C, I guess it was bad light placement with the orange... it appears as if it is floating, which bothers me too.

Bear in mind that I don't have any history or knowledge of what's needed in product photography. Your composition is very centered and static. It does emphasize the bottle and lable which may be what you desired.
I'd suggest trying a less formal off centered, more dynamic arrangement with the smaller objects overlapping each other as well as the bottle adding more depth as well. Maybe a stray chunk or two of ice and a little melt puddle to loosen things up even more.
I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Thank you Chunk, the diagrams are very helpful, I tried them today... this is the best I could come up with...
