The chosen one - Smirnoff

Selected image:

I chose this photograph because it was well focused on the brand name, I liked the lighting on the bottle, the bra shadows are soft, the bottle faces forward and I liked the composition.

Hopefully it's pretty obvious it's a bra!

Lightroom: WB Temp: -8; Clarity: +100; Vibrance: +18

Final Image:

From the beginning I thought of adding text to the picture.

Photoshop: Cropped bottom (to extend it - did you know you could crop to enlarge? I didn't, until now!); clone-stamped the colour to fill the new area, used the healing brush to blend the tones together, with the colour picker I selected the colour from the top corners and painted them on the bottom with low opacity, then used the healing brush again to make it look more natural and less patchy.

Then added the text onto another layer (font: Impact; 72pt, same colour as the Smirnoff letters - colour picked).

I hope the bra now makes sense and the fact that the bottle is half empty.

I am personally pleased with the outcome. I hope others will also like it.
