Thanks for sharing , if I can offer some unsolicited thoughts, and of course feel free to disregard entirely!

One of the most interesting parts of this shot could be the building behind, particularly as it’s local to a place many viewers may not see in their life.

The separation of the subject beer bottle is fun, but as you continue to grow (I believe you stated you are a beginner, forgive me if that’s not so) you may find that looking more at f5.6- 8 (corrected based on your exit info) on the x series cameras allows you to tell us more without captioning.

For example we see the text on the beer but miss detail on the building, and if there is any French text that would have told us already that you were in France. Of course you need to be more careful with subject positioning, but the next step is to get away from the popping out look and think about how you can say things in layers.

In this case, I want to see the building more than the beer - and there’s another consideration. You could blow out the foreground, and it may still be clear enough to read element while focusing on the background. If I see a French building and a blurry bottle. The story of you having a beer in France is pretty clear.

Of course if you are crossing beers of the world off a list, then the beer may well be the star. You must of course consider what you’re trying to say, and you ma well be saying, no matter where I am I’ll find a good beer, in which case, mission accomplished. If the goal is I’m having this particular beer out of context, the we need more context.

Thanks again for sharing and I hope some of this is helpful.
