Thanks Paul. Oh and this is a shaving gel, try it you'll like it.

I like the sparkly bits. Actually i find the photo quite appealing although it's just a bottle of poncy hand cream. I could use some on me hands.

Thanks Rod. But I like the colors :(

Agree with RK It's just a label init, labels are for selling stuff not for photographing. Go with the peanut Aaamm.

Thank you guys very much for the comments. I'll re shoot it as suggested and maybe find another subject as RK mentioned. Again, thank you very much.

Aam, yours is the opening image and I hate to offer criticism. Agree with Pops on the DOF. But, sometimes a shallow DOF can give a 3d effect. This picture seems flat inspite of shallow DOF. Is this a label on the container or billboard.
I see that you have the 100mm macro, one of my fav. macro lens. Its really poweful lens. It lets you get real close. Choose an interesting subject (eg, peanut/walnut) get real close, use a flash if needed, bump up the aperture to aleast 16 to bring out the details.
Hope I am not rambling here...this is my first time hosting.

Aam, the lack of DOF is killing this image. Set your camera in Aperature mode, select f20 (or there abouts) and reshoot. Yes, you'll have a long exposure time but the greater DOF will bring everyting into better focus.

BTW, I also like the sparkles!
