Comment by TooCool:
Very nice contrasts in colors on this one. I love the way the cold beer (you know it's cold from the condensation) feels warm and fuzzy compared to the cool blues of the sea and sky.

The angle is very unique and helps to capture the reflection of the sun making it once again seem a warm and fuzzy feel. DOF may be just a touch off. The base of the glass seems a little soft on focus. Otherwise very nice DOF composition.

Oh one subtle flaw... The glass isn't centered on the coaster but very minor point

Hope it helps,
TC

Ah beer.
Good:
I love the subject. I like the intense colors, that blue cant be duplicated in science. The lighting is dead on, perfect highlights on the beer glass.The location must be heaven.
Not so Good:
The perspective is not to my liking. My eye seem to be drawn to the base of the glass. The riling in the background is also distracting. Perhaps if you raised the table/base the glass is sitting on and raised the perspective a little...
But why a beer in what looks like a tropical setting? How about a tropical drink?

Just my opinion, congrats on faidoi's P-O-D. Bet the beer was as good as the pic;)

I wish I were there. You made this pic look so inviting. I really like the angle you shot at. The beer looks refreshing, even though I don't like beer. Nice and foamy and you can see the sweat beading up on the side. Very nice.

this is a lovely room but the yellow cast and the hotspot on the painting distract

You know, I don't even drink alcoholic beverages (for spiritual reasons). This photo makes me want that beer!(Is it Heineken?) This could be a great stock photo! Great use of color in this photo, and I think the bit of some kind of plant in the upper right is effective.

Thanks for looking, and for the comments!

The picture was taken on the same island as this and this, but around the other side, on the resort part.

From memory, I think the beer is a 'James Boags'. I should have had the bottle in the shot as well, but...20/20 hindsight.

The colors are fantastic, and I like the detail on the condensation on the glass. Nice shot.
