OOPS!

At first, I thought it was blood droplets, but then realized it's not...at least I hope not :-) I find the object in the upper left a bit distracting, but I like the very low angle you chose.

Overall I like the photo. I wish the glass wasn't cropped quite so tightly and that bit of...glare? in the upper left is a little distracting. I like the colors, especially the glow on the bottle. Nice entry.

If I were to look at your photo without knowing the topic, it would take me a while to guess the word beverage. I do like the use of black and white. I also like how my eyes follow the line of the stone wall and birds from the left to lower right hand side.

I like the composition. I wish there was more room at the bottom for the cut-off splash, but otherwise well done.

If I were to see this image without knowing what "category" this was, it would take me a long time to think of beverage - even though there is liquid coming from his mouth. I do like the composition and the clarity of the fire is fantastic!

Creative idea. I find that the thick black border is almost "squeezing" into the glass. Perhaps less cropping on the right hand side - thus giving the glass a bit more..."breathing room." I like the colors of the photo and the beverage. Made me chuckle when I saw the reflection of the...two people?

Overall I like this. The refelctions off the candles into the glass and onto the surface are nicely captured. The one thing that drags my eyes away are the red and bluish-green spots in the upper right. The subject is nearly centered, whereas I find if the focal point is slightly off center it adds more interest to the viewer.

Yeah...that's pretty nasty alright. I'm not a fan of post-editing filters (guess I'm kind of a photo purist, if you will). The noise doesn't bother me as much, but it's the lack of noise on the glass and the scorpion. Good composition though.

I like the concept and the starkness, although some of the reflections off the cans themselves is a little harsh for me. Clever. The hairline red border is a nice touch.

Wow! Very cool shot. I absolutely love the colors. I wonder how this would be with a bit more cropped from the bottom, eliminating the overly dark area in the lower right hand corner? I like the composition as well. Good job and good luck.
