The guy looks a bit like Ben Afleck, great shot and wonderful way of approaching it.

Mike, I used a "retro" filter on this to give it an entirely old-style look. The retro filter does affect the white balance and the colour tones, but I felt it matched the classic look I wanted to achieve.
The crop here is a bit tight, but I didn't feel the need to show both people in their entirety as long as the key elements were included. For me it was more important to capture the action and expressions close up which involved the tighter crop.
Thanks for your feedback!

Pradeep,
Nice commercial shot. Looks like an advertisement for wine. The lighting on the female is hot and shows some blowing out, loosing detail in her shirt. I notice that because I get that comment on a lot of my pictures. I do like the color tones but would like to see it with a white balance adjustment. Again I think the crop is a little tight. Her arm is cut into and his finger has been cut off.
Mike

Dear Pradeep, 1) Nice photo great idea! 2) Who's idea was it getting each other wet? :) I bet that was the intention. 3) I wonder what the photo would look like with a bright red apple instead of the wine glass. Regards, Ben

Kate, thanks for your comment.
Because we were low on wine, what's in the glass is actually a mixture of wine and tea and it smelled terrible. So, the models absolutely didn't want even a drop to fall on them. If it was pure white wine I'd hear no whine from any of them, but now the stakes were higher so they were more serious. After, we had a good laugh about it when a few drops did fall.
You can bet they were not focused on the shot during this segment, and that adds to the appeal of the end result for me.
