Don't drink and drive.

Thanks to Connor for inspiratio.
I hope this will get the highest score for this lens :)

Definitely won't be the highest score. I wish I'd understand why - "Make use of an unusual angle to create design or movement in an otherwise ordinary photo" - more tilts and angles seem impossible in one image: the glass itself is slanted, the gelified liquid is tilted, the camera was tilted on the tripod, I even used a tilt/shift lens which was rotated by 30° and tilted by 5°, not to mention the straws...

Yes, way underrated. Maybe it came too soon on the heels of the beverage product shot challenge? I admit I didn't visually grab onto the drinking and driving connection, maybe the green color threw me off, since it's not a color I associate with alcohol. However, it's a striking photo, unique in the challenge, and I thought the tilt was subtle but essential. Cheers!

No one Few people look anymore Oliver. It's all McChuck cardboardburger or a greasy piece of Fried chicken cat and a shake in 30 seconds. Instant gratification world. I saw all the tilts and off course your camera was above and lens tilted down at subject. I noticed the similarity to Connor's shot and at first thought of his Dad taking this shot, still, it's a good stock photo for your other sites ;) Ich habe dir sieben gegeben.

Nice image, like the placement of items in the frame, like the white background and the choice of a green liquid and red straws really adds a great punch of color. Tips of the straws aren't sharp but don't really need to be for me.
