Thanks, Bruce. I'm not sure I agree with the product name being in
focus, but it's a fair assessment. And I WAS having fun with f1.8 :-)
It's the kind of idea an art director would love, and the marketing
director would shoot down. The bean counters who ultimately control
whether a shot gets used or not don't have imagination enough to see the
product unless the label is tack sharp.
It might get used in some niche "gourmet" food & beverage magazine
article ... the kind that uses paid product placements.
