I dont know about the picture itself, but the Dos Equis looks delicious!!

The only thing I would say is the chips are really bright and the bottle neck is a little dark.

Thanks I am still learning how to use DPP which came with the camera.
I wish I could figure out how to straighten images, if you or someone else
knows, please clue me in.
The chips are a little bright, they are Tostitos
which are a little more pale than other brands.

Yummy, but maybe without the ice? But seriously a little too light for me.

I like it. It is well done, as other posts do show it worked (made everyone crave your photo). As honest critique -and respectfully of course- I would have taken this photo level (back horizon line straight) and also from about 6 inches higher, that way the background would have been all grass (or sand) but all uniform. Otherwise the line between the green and dark is a bit distracting (What that means is that this photo wants me to look at the bear, the glass, the plate, and then the hat in background, and finally the very back. But instead I look at the hat and line inthe very back, and then at the rest).

Maybe I have had one too many ... the glass and bottle have the appearance of being vertical, but the WT in the glass is tilted to one side.:D

Maybe I need another shot of the Wild Turkey ... I still don't see the bear.;)

The shot was set up in my yard it was a study in composition and light.

The "table" was a cardboard box turned on end. The "tablecloth" was
two diapers. My yard is on a slight incline which causes the liquid in
the glass to be like me, about a half a bubble off level. the camera
was on a pan head tripod which allowed me to "eyeball the beer bottle
and adjust the camera angle and align the right border of the frame so as
to give the vertical plane of the bottle a 90 deg. look.

he gets here.
