I can't make out what's in the background and I think it's a substantial part of your message here based on your title.

Red-dy for THE taste ?

Comment:
Something about the color combination here that weakens the initial impact. I think the yellow background is competing too strongly with the red for attention and the green is getting a back seat when the lime slice should be front and center. Did you look at it with a white background, even a royal blue maybe? Just a thought. I like the way you've put this together. The scale and layout is very good. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

This works well as an advertisement. Comes across as cool and refreshing. Put this on a billboard on a hot day and I'd be looking for one. :D Well done. Good luck in the challenge.

Sometimes One Just Isn't Enough

Nice concept. Hard to pull this off with straws the length as they are because they fall out of the focal plane (ends of the straws aren't in focus). A pair of scissors or a taller glass would have helped. Your choice of subject positioning is good overall and the straws do create a nice slightly horizontal line lead-in to the glass. Good luck in the challenge.

It's the Real Thing

You did a nice job putting this together overall compositionally. The background seam in the lower left is an unfortunate distraction. The image could stand to be rotated clockwise a little (couple degrees) - the coke bottle should be straight vertically. Very close here. Attention to the details can make or break an image sometimes, especially DPChallenge entries! :D Good luck in the challenge.

Funny concept. A little more light could help this image.

Yikes. If that is really 7-Up, what a sticky mess. :D It's a fun shot, I think the garage door background takes away from this. A hilltop with blue sky behind him maybe? Just a thought. Good luck in the challenge.

Day 4 Domino

Amazing. I had a cat that could be Domino's twin! We called him HiTop because it looked like he was wearing HiTop sneakers with his white markings on his paws.

Was he near a window or a lamp when you took this photo? You have two color temps going on. On the right the color looks balanced to white, on the left his fur and whiskers have a warm color cast. No big deal, just an observation. :D

Take care!

A very interesting gentleman to look at, and I imagine fun to talk with as well. Nice job of isolating your subject from the background with your lens/aperture selection. Have you took a look at boosting the black in this just a little? Great shot!

What a wonderful scene to capture! I'd have been beside myself trying to get in place in time to record those broody (is that a word?) skies. Very nice job of PP on this as well. :D
