Originally posted by dr rick: Focus is nicely soft but the DOF is too narrow; an aperture one step smaller (f/4) would have put the whole subject in focus while still keeping the background unobtrusively blurry.

True the focus is soft, maybe even just a little too soft around the eye area. If the eyes were a tad sharper this would be absolutely amazing, instead of just amazing :) I do have to disagree about the depth of field being too narrow though. I find the depth of field as it is very adequate. An f/4 aperture wouldn't have done anything to benefit this image.

I'm not really a big fan of flower shots, but this one is very good. Meets the challenge head on too. I surprised myself by giving this a 10!

I don't think this will do to well, it is very very dark, no sign of lighting at all. And you have spellt the first word wrong.

Fitting image to the challenge, and one I can relate to :))) The color of the beer formed by the backlighting makes it very appetizing and the ice on the glass just makes my mouth water. I only don't like the crop at the top of the image where you can only just see the top of the glass and then a black stripe. I would have either prefered a crop just below the top of the glass or else a little more black space above the glass showing.
