Just a simple photograph to represent when temperance matters the most--before and during driving.

Hardest part about the shot was catching the bubbles... they only appear for a few seconds!

I would beef up the curves a bit here

I think that a color capture would have given this picture a better viewer grab. The idea is excellent but have you ever tried to resist a Corona!

very good message.... I like the b&w -

Good sentiment, but the execution is a bit "gray" - needs more vivid lighting and contrast.

I think that colour would have been better here.

the white backdrop in this image is all wrinkled and REALLY pulls away from the image
also lighting on the bottom of the hand and middle finger is too dark. the beer bottle is too close to the right side of the frame, and you've really lost the warmth of the image by converting to black and white. i think the golden hue of the beer would have contrasted nicely with the flesh tones of the hand, but you're removed that altogether. :(

Good entry for the challenge. For me, if there was more contrast overall - the grays seem flat - I would have scored it even higher.

it's a crapy beer anyways ;)

good concept

Good idea. Maybe a slightly higher contrast would help the image stand out a little.

A good idea, which could be improved technically. The wrappings of the background are distracting a bit, I would iron it and would not place the bottle to the side, I would put it a little bit more to the left, no matter if the glass covers a part of it. Holding the hand absolutely vertical would make your decision more confident, IMO.

Dull contrast, work on lighting.
