what great light in this composition! the photo has a soft, dreamy feeling as a result, which adds to that longing referenced in the title.

i like the harshness of the white and red in this image. it really adds to that "one too many" feeling...

V.S.O.P

i would have liked to see more of the amber tones played up in this photo as opposed to the reds. perhaps a black background would allow those reds and ambers to sing more in the photo. also, the light source is reflecting a lamp in your glass, and bouncing your light may help avoid this.
as an adult, i have acquired a taste for v.s.o.p. and am happy to see this tasty marker of adulthood included in this challenge!

a classic, simple composition that's very appropriate for this challenge. the brown stuff under the left part of the tie detracts from the photo, and it's a shame because this image's simplicity would have made it a contender in my book.
