Looks very refreshing Alastair and I never would have know you had to PP in those bubbles if you hadn't said something - good work! CJ

Thanks Bob and dtallakson. Regarding the bubbles at the top of the bottle, I have a confession to make. They didn't bubble up that quickly, so I got a shot of the opened bottle a couple of seconds later and layered it on top. I set a layer mask to "hide all", and then painted the bubbles back in just around the top. Alastair

Now....! That is a sound I have heard before.... in fact..... I think I'll have a go at reproducing that sound right now? Good one Alastair and thanks for the suggestion. Regards Melbob

Great shot! You even captured the bubbles beginning to form below the cap. -dtallakson

Thanks Angloman. The cap was actually in motion. I shot a burst of my wife opening the bottle, in order to get one with the cap partially off. Alastair

Well executed - looks like a product shot! I like the subtle blur of the cap adding a touch of motion. - angioman

Thanks, Alastair. It is amazing: now that you've mentioned her, I cannot understand how I missed it the first time around... seems so obvious now. :-) Regards Nico

Thanks Lydia, Pops, and Nico. Pops, it does indeed kick butte, maybe even crested butte. Nico, in the background is the Best Wife in the World, whose hands are seen opening the bottle. She is wearing a brown and white sweater over a white shirt. Alastair

I can't say I know what the product tastes like, but I do know the sound! Nice one, Alastair! What is in the background? Regards Nico

A subtle sound and one of the many "sounds of good times!" Kick Butte Porter?

LOL! Good one, Alastair. ~Lydia
