Spilling out

I love your shot Irene and I personally think it does meet the challenge. My take is the subject is the liquid and the description didn't say the entire shot needed to be seen through something transparent and obviously a portion of the liquid is seen through the transparent bottle. So I think you met the challenge perfectly for me not to mention its an amazing image not only beautiful but well executed. I am glad there is a vote and the majority of voters loved it. Maybe if the descripition said the transparent object needed to fill more than say 80% of your image I would agree that it didn't meet the challenge but that isn't what it said. Regardless I think you deserved your blue and congratulations. Keep shooting what you enjoy and let the rest of us have the pleasure of viewing the shots you do so well.
Sorry for rambling on, everyone is entitled to there opinion and thats mine and I think the blue speaks for itself.

Bumping this up to 10. I love the dramatic sky and the way the path leads your eye up to the lighthouse.
