Firstly the critique: I like the photo but would suggest taking the poster back by at least 50%.

The bottle - this would be great if you are pissed as it would then look like any other bottle :rotfl2:

Thanks for the comments. The bottle itself hasn't got that
shape, in fact s straight. What you see is a montage of four
photos to create the effect using layers. Last time I was in
Madrid I visited the Reina Sofia Museum and I saw a painting
by Juan Gris and I thought I could do something with similar
elements, but more in my style. This is the link:

The big difference is that the original is a painting and I
am using photographs.

I'll work on reducing the poster size by a 50% and then I'll try
to get pissed to see if I can see it like any other bottle. :D

Spanish Anis with a French newspaper - good mix

Hi Chris

The original painting on which the image is based
was made by Juan Gris a Spaniard who migrated
to Paris and was part of Picasso's circle of creative
friends. I also liked the photo in the paper - one
we can all relate to.
