Alright - so no one wants to see my feet in the snow...that's fine.

Here's what I came up with after shoveling my car out of six inches of snow in Boston. Please let me know what you think is the best of the bunch. Processed each with C1pro and Lightroom. Think I prefer the C1pro conversion but am open to your thoughts.

Have a few more hours of light left if a re-shoot is needed.

Thanks! And this has really been fun!

    Great idea but I think you need to watch your backgrounds. They are not helping the images. Also, a bit of sunshine on those bottles would do wonders for the image.

    No sunshine around - dense gray skies all day and likely tomorrow as well. Was going to try to warm it up a bit or use a gold reflector but didn't look quite right. I have another set with a white background...basically just out of focus snow but it looked a bit boring to my eyes without some context there.
    Here are some quick conversions of those (without cloning out a bit of dirt back there):

    A bit of CS2 sunshine
    Gave the sunshine filter from Nik a try and got this off the first shot:

    Looking forward to your thoughts.

    #1 for me too, the red pole in the last few distracts from the bottles.

    Cheers

    Three versions of #1
    Straightened a bit to make the bottles even (though now the bucket is a bit off).
    Clean conversion:

    Sun filter and a little color tweak of the snow:
