My prefered one so far! I love all the reflection the torn can is offering, a bit tedious at time, but the result is worth the pain... This is a full accomplishment in the sense that I did the photo shoot to get the right picture to start from. Will try a similar Diet Coke with oil next time...

And another one! Got the picture on Flickr again, bless the Macro afisionados posting their work. I much prefer this one as I found the finish, range of tones and lighting are better.

Starting more serious things now, this was an idea at the back of my mind for a while now. I've had to hunt on the internet for a picture and I found one on Flickr again. The black background contributes really well to the overall effect and the can stands out quite well. The label might lack something to "anchor" it to the can though but it has proven a very good exercise. The new artist's quality brushes are amazing, I can tell the difference from previous paintings.

Yes I know, it's very pop-art / Warhol alike, but that's definitely what I like to do...
