With the launch last week of the third bottling of Bruichladdich Yellow Submarine then I thought it would be a good opportunity to get one of these in the studio.
After having several concept ideas in my head I think this is my favourite using some of the last remnants of the whinn flowers on the island and also some sprigs of field mustard which is plentiful here right now to bring out the yellow bottle colour.
I will add some of the other ideas in the comments.

Whilst I was at Laphroaig last week I noticed this heavy duty pipe connector in the sun and I could visualise it as a contrast B&W shot. Sadly I only had my phone with me but it still makes a nice industrial architecture image, well IMO.
