This is as you might have guessed a Corona Extra with a lime on top.
I thought that the combination of fruit and beer is not so ordinary, and if you think it is, at least the viewpoint is different.
I did some basic stuff in PS like adjusting levels and sharpening.

Cheers.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Composition:
I like the angle you have chosen to take this shot at as directly top down would have meant a weird central composition or something similar, as it is it nicely fills the frame and is quite pleasing to the viewer.

Technicals:

The shot is sharp where it needs to be and I like the shallow DOF, exposure looks good on the fruit and again that's where it needs to be for this shot.

Post-Processing:

You were fairly limited by basic editing ruleset and I think you did a good job of sharpening and getting the colours to pop considering this ruleset.

My Opinion:

I love Corona (and Sun Del Sol :p) with a lime punch.

As for the shot, I think it's pretty good overall - main problem is it's a mundane subject that hasn't been really made to WOW the voters, in the eyes of the voter it's a nicely taken shot (and quite creatively taken) of a mundane subject, they would be expecting more fireworks :)

Hope this was of some use, should you wish to discuss any part of the critique further please feel free to PM me.

Good luck in future challenges!

Now I'm thirsty. Looks quite excellent.

Though I must ask, what twist am I missing?
