Default Quilmes at the beach

I'm not sure if this one is a keeper... I was trying to do an advertising photo I guess, but I can't make up my mind about it... Is it a flattering shot for the product? How can I make it look better? I feel like I don't really know what to look at...

Any advice would help... Thanks!

In my opinion, I would have liked the photograph better without the flash. Also, it might be better to dust off the sand from the bottle if you want it to look flattering.

I believe the flash is important here, otherwise the foreground would have became to dark.
But a wider flash (diffusor or softbox) would habe been great.

Nice shot, but my eyes keep looking past the bottle and I keep staring at the pier and horizon.

Having the product laying down and being dirty, it looks more like an advertisement about littering a beautiful beach. Great beach and pier scene tho.
