This is such a fun shot! If this is a self portrait, you're such a cutie! If not - she's such a cutie!! :)

There ya go.


i don't know. I have seen many a martini held. And many a Bond film and that is not necessarily true. While I understand, to be so bold in assertion might be, well, too constrictive.

This is a nice and cheerful picture. The shadow of the glass is nice but at the same time there is the distracting shadow of the model.

While she looks like she's having fun, I'm not crazy about the yellow background as I think it tends to make her skin look more yellow and sallow.

I'm hoping you intended to have the shadow on the wall. It seems to detract from the image. I also don't like the way she's holding the glass almost like a baseball bat. Otherwise, nice image

I'd like it better if it were cropped just below her elbow

I personally do not like the shadow, and I think the background gives a yellowish skintone/

Would be much better if you could tone the shadows down. Move model away from wall or use flash extender to hide shadows behind her.

I liked the shot. I found the background and shadow distracting. Takes away from the "Party" reference.

I find the shadows very distracting in this shot. Your subject should have been standing farther away from the background IMHO. The potential was there for a very good shot.
