Southern Discomfort

This would be great if the guy was off-centered and the atmosphere were a bit more gritty which could be done in Advanced edit. I think the concentration on the jacket seems to not allow the environment to shine as it could. Offsetting it and allowing for more interest on the bar might help this IMO. 6

More detail and interesting lighting would help this.

This definitely is an image with potential to be on the front page of this web site. Given the subject and composition, it looks like it should all be pretty well sharp and focused - I think the lack of complete sharpness and not-extremely-interesting position of the subject hurt this - If it were more obvious that it was at a sharp angle and there was a great deal of depth-of-field, I think the result would be a winner - either that or if the entire thing had a bit more sharpness. Addtionally, the vignetted background and water drops are beautiful and I think just going for a slightly larger image without a border would have helped also- This is a tough one to score - let's go 7 for a great effort with some room for improvement.

Beautigul image - the quote is great too. The composition seems a bit tight on the right side but still great. 8

Wow! Never saw that before! The angle and sharpness could use help but this is a cute moment.

Thanks for the comments. Here's a few alternatives to plastic bottles: In-fridge water-filter which will also make your ice-cubes filtered, refillable water coolers, Refillable jugs that you take to the store where you re-fill for a cost.

If bottles are a must … as has been mentioned - biodegradable corn-based plastics are becoming more popular and are made from a renewable resource.
