Looking really good, my only feedback would be to try match the colour of your grass/trees more to those on the back plate. At the moment, there is too much saturation in the green.

Also I might be wrong but it looks like the shadows on your back plate are going in the opposite direction to those ...

First off, the easiest way to do a label is to duplicate the polygons from the bottle neck and use that as the base of your label.

You then need to extrude it ever so slightly as you need two sides for both textures to work (seems like you have just done this).

How many images do you need?

Easiest way to do it would be to use one static camera with a protection tag on it in the scene, group the rest of the scene objects into a null and animate it to rotate 360 degrees (make sure the null axis in in the centre of the turntable you are focusing on). Each ...
