Nice textures, you even got the printing on the can to have separate lighting and depth. Pretty neat.
imo:
- Add a lid that looks like it was opened by an old fashioned can opener with the beveled (and reversed) words 'TIN CUP PHOTOGRAPHY' and 'NONPERISHABLE' with a made up state, city etc code like on a real can, dont forget the beveled rings.
- make "TIN CUP" the only thing on the can and make it huge, maybe add more color or borders on the letters. Put "PHOTOGRAPHY" down on the ground vectoring to the cup.
- Use a white background with a pen-outline that resembles an old town, as if this can is an artistic representation of an old can found on the road in an old Americana town.
- For extra artistic flare (instead of just the vectored word), in front of the can lay down photos of various sizes including old Polaroid shots that spell out 'PHOTOGRAPHY'. In other words, lay photos down so that the first photo has a large 'PHO', the next photo has 'TO' and etc and make them resemble artistic shots taken of various signs.
- Finally, I would add spools of 35mm film in the can, rolled up, some unspun, so that the can is actually filled from photography.
But at the very least, no black backgrounds. If you must use a black background, give the can a shield of color in a simple shape or a starburst, then put it on black. It will look a billion times better.
