Almost a commercial photo of a beer with friends

This picture is edited to madness, I made it on an outside pub table where I was with a friend. It was a simple picture of a beer but I edited for a long time today until I managed to make it like that. As you see in the background everything is black and the only colored object is this beer, that I was to accomplish In Lightroom. I used the Adjustment Brush very often by selecting the masking tool option to make the background black and white. I used the HSL option that helped me make color tone as I wanted it so I hope you like what I've got out of that picture. Below are two variants in black and white as well as the original picture.

Here is the final result:

Here is the black bottle:

Here is the white one:IMG_20180702_184810_DRO-5.jpg

Finally here is the original photo unedited:

Great work. Great efforts put in to achieve this result. How about writing an article under post processing or photography 101 section. I think others will benefit immensely.

Good point, I will make that but every picture is different and postprocessing is about to be creative. Even on this picture I save my preset and try it on other pictures but it not work, they look ugly. There are some fundamentals in post-processing that works almost on every photo like increase the shadows and lower the highlights and use the tone curve. Sadly I use my phone for taking pictures and it is limited with a small sensor and a lot of iso noise but I try to milk my phone as much as I can:) I will definitely make some detailed tutorials how I process my pictures to help some people from Steemit. Thank you for visiting my post.

original I saw it was like in pub, but after that it's home-like. A sharp changes are quite surprise in my point of view.

Yes those edits are sick, I was impressed too and I think I work more the 1 hour or 2 and testing many things and even when the picture was finished it can be done more on it.

what apps were you using btw? the time is worth somehow as you said like commercial one.

I take my pictures with my phone, an S7 EDGE and I use an app HedgeCam2 for taking pictures (it is free) and use it in HDR mode then I edit my picture on my phone sometimes with an app called Polarr (free version) but when I want to make some edits more powerful I edit my photos in Lightroom on PC. Lightroom is amazing for editing photos and if you have an android phone HedgeCam2 is a beast camera app.

Congratulations really is a publicity photo.
I like the final result.
