This is a photograph that I am going to use for this project. I've chosen this image because it has the strongest and the most expressive reflection in the bottle which I was aiming for. Also you can still see quite broad part of the model's face so the viewer doesn't loose the eye contact with the main subject.

This is comparison between the raw and manipulated image. My aim was to create strong eye catching piece of imagery with dramatic look and exaggerated textures. I think that strong contrast and unconventional style of post-production would catch the pedestrians' attention quickly.
In terms of post-production I enhanced highlights and shadows using dodge & burn tool. Also I used quite a lot of curve adjustments for separate part of image. I added strong vignette to expose the main subject and sharped the whole image with high -pass filter. The overall time to complete this image was about 4 hours.
