I took this exact shot a few days ago! I showed a little of the lampshade as well. How funny is that!

hmmm, you actually found time to enter a challenge? I like the way the red reflects on the ice cubes. It gives it a very surreal type feel to it.

The background was an orange piece of posterboard with a little PS to give it some punch. Lost some clarity in giving it punch; gotta work on my techniques :)

Thanks for the comments!

Yummy, a foursome!
I love teh contrast between the glass and the background. Was that a table top? Photoshop?

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.

This could make a great ad. nice bright colors, great comp that's interesting. Only piks: I wish all of the straws were sharp and more cubes needed.

Good idea! very nice picture, but I would like to see straws that are mono colored, those small stripes of color does not work in the picture. or maybe it is the fact that they are not i focus at the end and the color of them smear out a bit?
