Interesting concept here, Sergio. Very well captured, technically speaking and the image is striking (no pun there). Only one minor hiccup for me.... no liquid splash or splatter on the surface? I think this image BEGS for liquid splatter ;-) Markjay

Sergio, I think this is my favorite of the Givenchys. The actual hammer you used is the antithesis of Givenchy and completely delightful. The sole area of strong color on the hammer is very effective. -Michael

Waw, excellent Ser, must agree with Lonnit, clever way of smuggling in your signature! Well done, mate.

I used only one flash on the left, a white foam board on the back, another on the right and one on top. Bounced the flash towards the top almost behind the object until i saw the front face of the hummer turn dark.
Theres is a mirror lying under the the objects that made the light bounce evenly all over. Adjusted contrast a notch and this is it.
Thanks
Ser

Extremely 'classy' advertising look. I would be interested in finding out how that sort of look is achieved. Multiple light sources? Soft box?

Anyway, I like the fact the image is so subversive :-) To me you are presenting a familar object (perfume) in a manner that we are all acustomed to seeing it, and then subvert that image with the hammer. (ok not subtle, but effective!)

Very 'striking' shot indeed. :). --Melanie (mlynn)

I agree with Lonnit, but cuter still would be to mirror image the sig ;) - Kelly

Excellent shot! And very cute way to sneak in a signature! LOL! ~ Lonnit

Good one. Good compo and choice of a broken hammer is just interesting.... Fallen broken pieces adds dynamics too. I am thinking is there anything I would have added to this picture if it were mine... may be a little motion to the hammer? To make it little more action oriented. -Cat
