Hi Horacio, i think, this is a nice image but there are some facts that could be done better. First, the image looks very flat, you do not see the shape of the bottle. Put a diffusor between the striplight and the bottle and angle the striplight give a gradiant which forms the bottle better. Second, a light throught the bottle will give you a nice glow in the liquid. But all in all, it´s a solid shot.

Thanks for the feedback
Do you think this is a better result?
Hi Horacio, yes, i like this image more, especially the visible background. But i agree with Carlos, it you solve the liquid lighting while solving the dark feeling would be much better. A possible solution for this could be to get a reflective material (white paper) in the shape of the bottle and light this from the side in a way that the reflection highlights the liquid. Seems complicated but it´s a usual way to get light into liquids. But make sure that from the bottle covers the paper from the camera perspective.
thank you! I will check into this and see what I can come up with. Thanks again!
Going on what Matthias said, your image can gain a bit by showing the liquid transparency, if you do that your light need to be motivated, that light refracting must come from someplace behind the bottle, so you have to light the background or something where it's obvious from where it comes. That's also a way of separating the bottle from the background. Good work on the lettering and labels.
Thanks!. I thought about it after I had replied to Matthias, I was purposefully going for a darker feel, but may have overdone it. I'll play with it I do have various shots of the contents illuminated.
Really the problem is just separation from background and liquid presence, if you solve those while keeping this darker feel, than you'll get something really unique. How to go about that? well... that's the good question.
I'm confused about what you're saying. If I add color to the liquid inside (as in the second version) It loses the dark feel automatically, doesn't it?
I apologize, I was being facetious. But I do like that version were you see the background better. It just places the bottle better in a scene, instead of it being floating in black.
Oh, no need to apologize. I was looking at your posted images, beautiful work! Hopefully I'll have more images to put up in the near future. Look forward to your pointers.
