 I was walking down the beach with my camera when saw this pile of cans in the sand. The pepsi can was already framed in by the beer cans and all I had to do was to find a good angle and wait for the sun to go away.

Photoshop:
*Crop
*Increase of contrast using curves
*Desaturation of beer cans
*Unsharp mask
*Clone stamp (to remove a small but disturbing straw of grass)

Very imaginative, I love the composition.
Just one critisism, Miller is a larger not a bitter ;)

A very interesting photo and I see where you are attempting to frame the Pepsi can. Had you isolated the color of your subject and completely desaturated the others, the effect would have had more impact. As is, the other cans though dulled out, still have enough color to detract from your subject. Good idea and good luck!

Very original, good exposure and desaturation(?) and cropping surrounded as an odd one out makes this work well - good luck

Im glad you chose Miller as oppossed to other beers, It puts an extra emphasis on "bitter"

You should've titled it "Designated Driver" ;-)
