Beautiful images. Loved the mood. :)

Thanks for sharing your results. Here is what i acchieved so far. I had a bad time dealing with the droplets intersection into the tomato and the first shader. (the sss plus intersection resulted in shitty effects)
Long Story short, i swiched the sss. ...... All in all we use the same techniques.
I did another test with a beerglas as awell. I tried to get the matt look, the very fine Drops are creating, by scattering them too. but this was way to heavy to render. i will upload this result later...
Since we are already C&Cing, might as well give my two cents.
The green fringe on the right makes it look (for the untrained eye) like you greened screen it. I presume you added Purple/Green Chromatic aberration, which is so subtle, that you don't notice it, yet strong enough to look like an artifact or error close up.
AntiAliasing is of dodgy quality on the top and has a typical Sharpen Black line Artifact. This maybe because you composted it on top with bad alpha and/or sharpened the image.
If that is the case, don't slap a sharpen on top, it doesn't belong into an already mathematically perfect representation of geometry, instead set image filter to off, that will sharpen the image and not start attacking the anti-aliased lines.
The following two are subjective:
The Drops look to far extruded and too bent, usually they are more Flat, don't Bend because of the surface tension and always stay perfectly hemispherical if on a surface, no matter the angle.
And lastly, a dark shadow is great, but maybe not full black, a little reflection readability wouldn't hurt IMO.
Otherwise really sexy composition! We rarely see product shots on corona, especially big name consumables, looks really good.

I am doing droplet test as well. Am i allowed to ask how you got to this results. I like the small ones. During my Research i found out that there are different types of "Drops"... the ones, after you remove the can from the fridge (smaller) and the ones you get when you put the can into water (bigger) the Image you did is very good.
That's really good, the only problem is that there are droplets that are too small, remove them and it will be better.
Thanks,
could you share the blue shader? any special tweaks on it?
Every Automotive render you did was always too clean, too prefect.
Same here, it gives the image and the passer by this OHH, thats CG moment.
The car material needs minor imperfection, mud on the extreme side, minor streaks on the subtle side.
Like this from the corona gallery.

In your style you seem to prefer very clean iamges, like your Crystals advertisment. But for photorealism to kick in - in every CG discipline - you have to introduce imperfections.
but beyond that, the image is good.
