Cute idea! A slightly tigher crop on the top would improve this image in my opinion.

The idea behind this picture is good but there is something missing

A good effort, but there's way to much noise in the background and a wide halo around the stirrer. A bit of a visible tilt as well. I do like the colors and lighting here.

Cool looking, drink up. Detractions include high noise, halo around glass, and tilted of glass and backdrop horizon.

Comment by basssman7:
the halo shows that you have used a lot of shadow/highlight and is distracting.

Back to comment: There are several cold drinks in this challenge and by adding a stir stick to yours you provided a strong focal point for the image. However, there is a lot of haloing around the top part of the stick from the post processing and there are weird reflections in the glass. The image also suffers from the lighting a bit but I have no suggestions for how to improve it. I would suggest you look at some of the images in the Recipe (Beverage) challenge and PM some of the higher scoring ones and ask how they set up their lights. I've done this a few times and almost everyone was more than happy to share their knowledge.

something isn't sitting quite right... maybe oversharpened? noisy? hmmm... I like your concept and color though.

There seems to be a lot of halo-ing, and the horizontal line is off-level
