A fun shot to do. Used two 500 Qi lamps one on her left and one on the right. A fair bit of work in photoshop mostly on Colour select and balance, saturation. Sharpened a little. Big thanks to my wife.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Pretty crisp, but opening up that aperture a bit might have helped sharpen it up more. I do like the idea and I like what you came up with.

Lighting: It also looks like the lighting was too harsh, thus washing things out a bit. Opening up that aperture and toning down the lighting would have made a nice difference. The brightness of the lips and the shadows inside the mouth are a bit distracting.

Composition/Content: Great idea. You did a very nice job meeting the challenge in a very creative manner. Perhaps replacing the pink straw with a bright blue one would have added some nice color contrast, as well as give the eye more of an opportunity to flow around the image.

My Opinion: Nice work, and a fine score that followed. With some slight adjustments in your lighting and just a little more color, you would have been well into the 6 range.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

great concept and executed well.. however the skin is not right to me.. the color is off.. i know its not the WB because the milk is nice and white, so maybe oversaturation? still a great shot. 6

A fun and sexy image. A great setup and composition. My biggest criticism is that the lighting seems a little flat. I think the milkshake needs a little more contrast and the models chest a little darker. That would help the image pop out more I think.

good idea, but the model's skin color seems a little "off"

Pretty good shot, The models lip stick as bright as it is draws the eye away from the bubbles though. Not bad

The bubbles are great - nice dof and "texture" to them. They contrast well with the background. The model's skin is too smooth...there's no distinction from when her head/chin ends and her neck begins - it's all the same tone. Her skinn is too orange me too.

Great bubbles! I would have lit the face with slightly more contrast to differentiate where the neck separates from the chin
