I wasn't thinking this meant children should drink. Guess I was more caught up with the distortion effect, and the transparency and color of the ale. Sure, maybe others are right - if you were going to sell it to an add campaign, but I don't think that was your intention. Anyway, it doesn't deserve a placement of 84. Ah well.

Nice shot, but is that a child on the other side? I'm not sure I like the idea of a photograph of a child through a glass of beer.

very nice! i like it a lot. beautiful colors. a bit overexposured on the left side but i think it only adds to the general distortion so it's ok in this case.
i also like the setting very much. looks like the child is amazed by the bubbles ;-)

I'm wondering how many "pints" it took to complete the project. If you crop it square (or round) you'll have an archetypical "smiley face" image -- maybe you can sell it to them for a print ad.

Nice idea, and I like the kid's smile. Could the brightness on the left side have been eliminated by using a less direct source of light, or could you have taken a higher res picture and cropped it off? It really detracts from the quality of this picture. Also, (and this is just a personal thing) the coupling of a child and beer (even if non-alc) bothers me. Why not Mountain Dew, or Kool-Aid? karmat

This photo caught my eye at the very opening and I really like the colors and the way the whole face fills the photo. The light flare even adds a very nice element..One of my 10 best this week ...hokie

kids and beer, a classic combo

Cute. Good photo. (8) Playing with the title in my head. How about "Pint Sized". Describes the Ale and Child. Just a quirky thought.

Slightly contraversial in US, (kid/alcohol combo), but a well taken, interesting shot. The left side of this shot hurts the overall effect and the squarish reflection under the kid's eye is a minus, too. I do like how the beer bubbles appear like stars.

can I be an alcoholic too when I grow up? (kidding). I actually like the photo a lot. Great idea and great expression on the kid.

I'm laughing! The distortion is hilarious!
07/02/2002 04:21:00 PM
yep.. couple of pints and that's how ya feel :O

A pint of Fosters can make things look good. Good, creative shot.

i'll give you bonus points for using an Auz beer! (bonus to an already good pic)

Good job on this.

Very nice shot, cute well done. Kee

great exposition of the warping. lack of focus disappointing. left side distracting.
07/01/2002 12:01:00 PM
nice... : )
07/01/2002 08:34:00 AM
Children and drinking just don't mix, my friend. Maybe if it was apple juice and the child's innocent face smiling just as bright I could've rated it higher. :) Otherwise, very nicely captured.

I'd crop the left side. The bright spots are distracting. Right side is great!
