I use to drink these all the time, and yeah they taste better than corn syrup, but not any better for your health. Although recently I think they stopped using this bottle trade and it's all just the same corn syrup plastic stuff, at least on the border.

THANKS for a beautiful shot that isnÂ’t an over-the-top landscape! This is gritty, humble, and striking. Better because itÂ’s unusual. IÂ’m tired of grass and beaches. I guess we all agree the white labels donÂ’t add much. But IÂ’m glad you didnÂ’t line up the red labels. I like the messiness.

Thanks again for tall of the kind and helpful comments. I just wanted to update: I reshot this without the white labels. The new version (as a pack) is available to download here: http://deviousduo.deviantart.com/#/d34lsag I'm not sure if I should repost the new version to the loupe for voting, since it's so similar. It's an entirely new photoshoot, but it's the same idea. Maybe in a couple of weeks.

I like the fun subject matter, and the colors are very pleasing! I have to agree with stevenajay about the labels being lined up. I'm also one of the "OCD types" and I have the same feeling when looking at this. I just want to reach in and turn that front left bottle label-front! But this is obviously a personal preference. I still think it's a great shot. Thank you!

I'm not big on the Coke theme, but there is something really pleasing about this shot. Not sure if it's the lens or colors or composition or what, but this is simply a good-looking photograph. Hope to see more of your work. @stevenajay Embrace life's messiness! I think this photo would suffer if the labels were all perfectly lined up. I prefer to imagine that we're looking at hastily grouped bottles on some restaurant counter.

the labels make the photograph because of the import. i have recently taken a similar photo. but rather than multiple bottles, i had only placed one, with the label as well. keep up the good work.

"Lucky" Mexico getting real coke in their sugar... Back on topic, it makes for a nice change of theme. I agree with The Reason, it's a pity about the extra labels.

I do like the colors. Very easy on the eyes. Not too busy. I think it would have been even nicer if the labels were lined up all the way across to give the photo a more balanced effect. For us OCD types looking at this photo only irritates me because I want to straighten them all out. Hehe. Good job though. ;-)

Thank you for the comments. @The Reason: The white labels are there because this is a foreign import. I left them, because to me, they felt more authentic. However, I agree completely that they're a little annoying and I've actually soaked the bottles to remove the labels, and will be redoing the shot soon. @onis_uk: This is my first time posting an image on here, and from what I got out of the guidelines, I'm not breaking any rules, so I'm not worried about it. If I am, I'm sure someone will let me know, but right now I'm not worried about it. Thank you :)

Very creative picture, nice colors. Too bad there are these white labels cause they are a bit annoying for me. I can imagine they're hard to remove.
