I like this crop much better... and I don't have to scroll.
Life is good. ~Lydia

Thanks Nico, I agree, I was a little too aggressive with the crop tool trying not to make the pic too long. I went back to the original 'as shot' crop and the tension is now relieved - Thanks!

Nice composition Barry great contrasts/colours and clever image/reflection.

Nico has a good point it does look better with a little more space above but it would make the image very tall and more difficult to view without scrolling.

Super work yet again, Barry. If I am allowed a minor comment, it would be the crop at the top margin which just "feels" a bit too tight for to me. But I know this is rather subjective. Regards Nico

Thanks Lydia, and I don't mind at all, its a PS composite with a second shot with the bottle rotated to get the other logo in view (was real careful to keep the position of the bottle the same so the reflection would line up). I did another one with a red bottle in the reflection but I like this one better since the effect is more subtle. You can see them on my flickr page (photogeek21) along with the setup I used.
