Heya! This is your Critique Club message thingie.
I am partially happy that I got to critique this one, and partially sad. Y'see, I already said good things about it. Simultaneously, I dunno what to tell you about it either.
It is a truly great photograph. I really do believe that it should have won the challenge, but alas.
Fabulous idea, superb lightning, and (for once) a border that really stands out, and brings out the best of the photograph
The only thing I would comment on is that it seems a little oversharpened along the top edge of the glass. A pure nitpick, though, as it does not really distract from the image as a whole.
I used to have a Pro90 (can't remember being able to use ISO 50 - odd), and remember the camera to be really good - but I never got images this good out of it :)
Great effort, my friend - I am sure the ribbons are not far out of reach.
(but why did you use coors when you call yourself miller? hehe)
Rock on!

| This was the best shot of the challenge for me - and not just for the subject matter :-) Very well done. |

Thanks everyone for the comments. This was a pretty simple setup. The only light was from a 55 watt desk lamp with a cardboard cone I made to direct the light. After I got the exposure down, it was just a matter of pouring the beer over and over again until I got something I wanted. I probably took close to 75 shots. I chose this one because I felt that the full glass shots I had lost some detail due to the dimension limits here. I used flat beer because if I poured it straight out of the can the foam would block all the light.

| The play of light in this takes my breath away, and the first glance brings out the connection with the topic immediately (to me, anyway). The lighting is so damn amazing. If I have to find SOMETHING critical to say, I would add that I don't see what the border brings to it (just letting the edge end blackly would work as well, to me). :-> 10. |

| Good capture. The dark background really helps to capture the pattern inside the glass. |
