 straigtend, cloned out most of reflection on lower part of glass, auto levels & contrast. USM

Maybe a bit too busy, but I have many weaknesses :) I'm not very happy with this photo, hopefully good comments help me do better.

Unfortunately, resistance is futile.

I wanted to reshoot this, with everything straight, but ran out of cigars and whiskey. That (<-) explains the tilted look.

GOOD LUCK ;>) ...The (lovely) model's eye in the glass makes the shot IMO. REAL minor nitpick, but I would have rotated so that the liquor in the glass was perfectly level (remember, I said MINOR). Creatively a 10, score given, 8.

Really quite clever... Not too fussed about the lighting here - bit dark for my tastes. But I laughed so that's enough to get you a 7.

Love the idea and the execution. But, although I understand why it's there, I'm thinking the computer screen is a little much. Probably could have done without it. Still bumping you up though.

the website and girl in the background are nice second-glance subtleties to this image.

Love the canon in the background as a temptation. Don't resist on that one! :) (8)

Although you are tempted to purchase a new canon, the overindulgences of smoking, drinking, and sex are the best elements here. I like the glass arrangement Good luck and HNY.

The letters "LOL" can't adequatelty express my reaction to this shot. All I can say is good luck. Perhaps it would have been okay to cut off part of "Guinness?" Just a thought. It also seems a litle weighted to the right side of the shot.

Forget the resolution life would be far to boring. Good take on the challenge and well composed although the lighting could have been better.

Oh my. You must be a masochist! Best of luck to you in your entry and your self deprivation ;)
