This photo was taken along the Intercoastal Waterway in Hollywood, Florida.There were no props used. This 12 pack of beer had apparently fallen from one of the boats that cruise the waterway and washed ashore. Ooops!
Taken in early morning light with sun risng and shining directly on scene.

Hi, I am Kari, I have been issued your photo for the critique club.
Let me start by what an strange finding you have made.
First Impression - the most important one: I thought this was an interesting photo. The water is either murky or moving, but is not sharp (may be because of the murkiness). The fact that it just looks like a carton washed up and not like the box of beer which is full is an oops for the picture .. .an empty carton is trash/rubbish but bottles of beer is a definate oops.
Composition: The actual composition is fine, but to make it look more like an oops it would have been good to see something of the bottles ... I think then the viewer would be more engaged.
Subject: Subject missed slightly as people didn't really get it .. this I think is shown by the voting.
Technical (Colour and light): Technically is an ok photo. There is a problem with the water but it isn't a major component ... did there need to be more water .. I am not really sure the thing is to try on the picture that you have and see how you can improve.
To grow its vote?: Showing the actual beer I think would have put it in context for people.
Summary: This is a good concept that you have taken and executed. The picture itself is nicely balanced.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Technically, I think this is a good photo. Good colors and composition. For me though, it doesn't make me think "oops" as well as other entries in the challenge.
Well, I believe this gives strong support to the advice, "Don't drink & go boating!" Elsewise, you could end up with your drink in the drink. Besides, without your light your in a spot. :)
Technically- Clear, Simple, Funny, To the Point! I get it. Thanks.
Interesting picture but from background it looks very tilted. Is the "Oops" that the case was dropped and the camera went off while falling? If so you did a good job.
