Wellllll... it looks sort of like a planet photo, though it's not quite perfectly round enough for it -- I'm not really sure what it is, and so I can't tell how liquidy it really is.

I anticipate a lot of people-drinking photos. It's on-topic. The shot is good, interesting play of shades of grey, good lighting and sharp focus.

Okay, if I drank beer, which I don't, I would think of this as a very enticing commercial shot, so nice job. A bit too much bright blur on the label and that funky flame-like artifact at the top is, well, funky, but the way the light hits the glass is great.

It's a neat idea, but the way the letters get blurred is not visually pleasing.

Martini Anyone?

I really dislike the red tone. The blur is unfortunate -- would have worked with a martini shaker but not this way IMO. And the lighting is way too bright on the glass by comparison to the rest.

SNOT!

Okay, EWW.

But, er, I suppose strictly speaking it meets the challenge. And it's a nice close-up shot aside from the ugh factor...

Sound of Freedom

Comment:
On the one hand, I'd like to say that seeing a creative, metaphysical interpretation of 'sound' is good. On the other hand, really, this doesn't grab me. I'm a little weary of jingoistic photos and imagery after being bombarded with them for the last 2.5 years, so some of this is my personal thing.

On the technical side, this is a good photo of Lady Liberty, framed well and taken from a good angle to hit the light. I just typoed 'angle' twice as 'angel', which may be a subliminal effect or may just be my entire lack of sleep.

Wherefore are the headphones? Is it really sound if no one can hear it? (Oh no, not that debate again.)

Interesting choice, good commercial art feel.

Talk

Comment:
While 'sound' was not the first thing this shouted at me (no pun intended), thinking about it I realized this was a good representation of it. I like the shot, close focus on the 'talk' button, colour/tone.

This is a nice idea, and a very pretty photo. Cropped or framed well (whichever applies), and good choice of background.
