[I bet I'm not the only one to say this - can you turn the date imprint off?]
OK ignore that last comment! 2 days later and this shot still sticks in my mind which must mean it's pretty good! Thinking about the date, I realise now that it must be deliberate to show that this isn't just one of those where someone has rotated a perfectly ordinary photo. Clever idea - it just reminds me too much of all the snaps that I saw ruined by a date stamp when this was popular on film photos.
I really like the way the heights of the glasses are all different which adds a lot of interest to the scene. However, what lets it down for me is the focusing and (to a lesser extent) the distracting background. If the glasses had been sharp and the background had been cleaner then I probably would have realised straight away that the trick with the date was a clever idea.

I am a little disturbed by the date in the lower right corner. Is there some way to turn that off? (I did not subtract any points for that, but something you may want to think about).

Great idea, looks nice...if a little blurry
That date down the bottom-right annoys me greatly

Cool pic, but a solid backgroung, some better focus, and cropping of the junk on the right (including the date) would have made it a 10! Was this like a camcorder vidcap sorta deal?
