Wanted to redo my famous Coke SP from the 30 SP challenge, but do it a little differently. So, I had the Coke coming from the can into my mouth.

Hiya Mike. I recognized your shot for what it was. :) Just didn't get around to voting on this challenge.

Keep on playing with it - you can make a collage just of variations!

I miss a bit of sharpness on your face. I can also see the brush you used for the background, to make it white... oh well ;) lighting on your face looks nice, but the coke is reflecting a bit.

To me, the red border is a bit overkill. It really detracts from the photo, which is otherwise very good.

Good desaturation with even a wet thumb to add to feeling of enjoyment. Bump.

Hey Mike! I like the re-do! Maybe not quite as sharp as the original, but I like the composition here better. Nice job!

The bright reflection off the can and the white halo around the arm and chin are the only detractions from this interesting shot.

That's a great way to wake up! The desat de-emphasises what the photo is about; you. Not sure I like that, but it's interesting. Good editing.

Hi Mike! I hope you are feeling better!!! And about the picture, I am having a deja vu! hehe I think you may want to check your monitors contrast balance, I can see some marks of dodging.

This is pretty cool but I do not like the border at all. If you want the border I would shrink it down and use a lighter tone of red... sample it from the lighter parts of the can. I would also play with the lighting a bit to keep the burnout from appearing on the can like that as it takes away from the logo. All those things said and this could be a composition for a coke ad!

duuuuude. I clearly see the masking/dodging you did around your hand, can, and neck. Elvis doesnt see it on his computer though so I hope you're not getting voted down for it. good luck!
