Beer: in studio vs. in bar

In an anxious attempt to use my new studio lights I set up my beer shoot (for local magazine) in the spare bedroom of my house. My editor mentioned she wanted an isolated shot of "a beer" using a Nola Brewery pint glass, so I figured a studio setting would work best. Never having used my lights before and/or shooting glass (a tricky feat) I set up my lights and began shooting. Because I don't have a true studio with a proper background and table I tried a few different shots to make the beer look frothy and cold. The beers looked good but the whole image was super boring, so I decided to hit the bar thinking that my editor would change her mind about an isolated beer and go for the more natural bar setting for the background. I went over to Balcony Bar (closest bar to my house) and used their vast beer tap collection as a backdrop. I've attached one shot from each series to the post. Wonder which setting my editor will prefer. What'ya think?

I have a day off of work today due to the incoming storm, and im planning on busting my alien bee strobe lights out of their case and trying to do this beer shoot at the house. Im not really sure how it will turn out being as though its not really a proper studio, but Ill give it a try.

I also really want to try and figure out how to customize my PhotoShelter website by editing the html code. I have very very limited html skills but realize that I could probably achieve what I want to if I do a bit of research. If you look on my website powered by PS you'll notice that the top navigation bar on the upper right has 7 links. I want to try to add an 8th link "home" this way people can navigate back to the home PS page.

Last night I messed around with my real "ericastavisphotography.com" homepage designed in Dreamweaver and added two links so people can either enter the site or the blog. More on the trials of PS html coding later.
