Hi Matthias
I think your lighting is nice, the fact that the face is not uniform gives it a nice real world look, in fact your lighting in general is nice. I would say that the numbers under the brand doesn't really do anything to your image, and the side you can see the plastic is a bit warped so you can see distracting dark reflections that you can solve easily in post.
Hi Carlos, thanks for your comment. You are right, you can see dark reflections at the right side. I tried to delete them in photoshop but for me it´s not working, the surface looked boring after removing them. But i´m also not completely happy with them in the image. I decided to leave them in the image because i did not find a better look.
Try also darkening the side panel, that will hide those black spots, and separate more from the background.
Hi William, yes, it´s straight out of the camera. I tweaked it a little bit in contrast and did a little vignetting around but nothing more. I used 4 lights to get this image. Two from the left side to highlight the upper right corner of the bottle and the upper part of the bottle, both with snoots and through a diffusor. One light from the right part and one to highlight the background just a little bit. The hardest part was to get the correct position and strength of the backlight to get a nearly seemless background, because the bottle is standing on a black sheet of glass and it´s five feet away from the background. Without the correct lighting, there was a dark line visible, the end of the glass plate.
