Drink

this is my first attempt on taking a picture of a drink. I would like to know what you think and what should I do to make it better or how should I re take this shot.

Looks pretty good to me. I like how the background slightly distracts the eye keeping you interested. Good composure, color, and focus.

Was it shot in a pool hall? I see what looks like a pool table in the reflection of the glass.

no, the reflection is from the neon light behind it. this is acutely in my shed.

you might try the clear store bought ice

Great color

Perhaps a bottle of Heineken instead of a highball?

I love it all its colours .....A real bar style shot neon lights beer adds its a winner....
Nicely composed bright the eye keeps coming back to the drink after perusing the scene...

I swear I'm going crazy.

It looks nice, but I have to say that I'm not a fan of the condensation around the top of the glass.

condensation's a bit distracting. i like the ice tip mentioned too.

Thanks, I think I'm gonna redo it tomorrow with a glass of beer, it might fit the background better.

Amazing-- looks like it should be in a commercial. The condensation above the liquid level IS a bit ddistracting, Ill admit though.

here, I've tried with a glass of beer

These are really cool! I like 'em!

I know these are just a couple of nits, but I think the Playboy Bunny on the glass takes away from the shot. I think a simple beer glass would have worked better. Also...and this is probably a bit subjective, but I think I would have allowed a little more room on the bottom and the right side of the frame (i.e. moved back just a little bit).

Nice shot over all though...makes me thirsty .

Peace,
Jim
