ok.. i had to look it up :) I would love to have seen this shot with some more creative lighting... the on camera flash rarely creates interesting lighting in a photograph. The composition and theme of this shot are ok, but the color of these cans just bugs me :) i don't know what it is about the color, but a nice bright red coke can against the ics would give some better contrast, and probably work better with the on camera flash also :) - setzler

Ah I get it! I must admit I had to look the word up in the dictionary though. 12 cans, didn't want 13 as it's unlucky.

The cans look fine but I feel that there's something missing from the ice and the black background. The ice looks dull, almost unreal and the black background does nothing for me. The cans themselves are okay though!!

I was thinking "World Peas" when I did this, but a few people came up with "Peas On Earth." That works, too.

Peace on earth? Is that what you were going for here? It took me a minute of studyng it to come to that conclusion. Proof that taking time to study a picture can be enlightening. Great concept, thought out and executed. Technically the lighting is a bit too harsh, resulting in an overexposed portion. A lower wattage, or moving the light source further away would probably be an effective solution.
The black background works very well for contrast. Good luck in the challenge! Grayce aka Gracious
