Great final image but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE change the music. I stopped the vid 3/4 into it because it was driving me bonkers. Try classical music or something.

Looks good! Ignore the naysayers. Post production is just one of the powerful tools available to achieve your vision, and probably THE most powerful tool available to photogs. Sure, you could have tried to achieve it all in camera, but doing it in post was probably way more efficient and easier and probably more fun. I have a pretty good idea that you knew ahead of time what your final vision was and how you were going achieve it in post and shot accordingly. Well done and thanks!

I have no issue whether the completed shot was achieved in camera or ion the computer.

What does drive me absolutely nuts however is that to me, the bottle looks ever so slightly tilted to the left.

Also, while I applaud the photographer for his submission, a voice over describing the steps being taken would have made it far more informative than the background music.

What is all this talk about the “right” way? I had no idea that photography was the only legitimate art form and that Photoshop was the imaging equivalent of steroids for athletes. When people bash Photoshop like this it reminds me of how painters used to bash photography.
As someone who tends to do more in camera and less in post, I think it’s more informative to see someone do it the other way around. The real question is what balance between the two will yield the best results with a minimal budget.
