I mainly got this idea from a time at a restaurant where a friend ordered a drink and I seriously thought it looked just like antifreeze. I'm going to have to find that drink and compare it to the antifreeze. Thanks for all the comments! When I was working on the levels I was debating on how to set the brightness. Since my monitor is calibrated and I work in a dimly lit room I suppose that the detail I see is easily washed out on a monitor that isn't calibrated. Oh well, I suppose that is something to consider in future challenges. I only had a flashlight to work with for the lighting so I figure this turned out pretty well considering. Good for my first post....

| Prestone is a brand of antifreeze. That is the genious; it's antifreeze disguised as a drink. I picked this one for top 5 in this category. |

can't believe you didn't do better. the prestone must not be visible on everyone's monitor's. people need to adjust their monitors around here if they are going to vote on photographs. it's not fair to others because their monitor is too dark and they can't see the subtleness of a great shot such as this one. sorry.

| At first glance, I didn't even notice the Prestone container......might have added to the photograph if it was just a tad less obscure. Great thinking! |

| Clever, the beverage is an excellent shade of "anti-green", the bright spot on the glass is okay but too bad the front lime is washed out with light, perhaps softer lighting would have eliminated that. |

Took me a minute to get this wasn't really a drink, I kept wondering what "Prestone" was until I remembered "antifreeze"

| Wow. Let's hope no one takes you up of this offer... Well executed image, except I would have made the Antifreeze bottle a little more visible... I have a calibrated monitor, and it's tough to see at first... |

| No thanks, looks like antifreeze to me. A good shot nonetheless |

| Makes me cringe. Shock effect, for sure. Effective photo. Good composition. Some blown out highlights on the lemons and glass. |

| Lovely colour. I find the yellow blowout to left very distracting. I like the balance of the image - I think you got the negative space on the right just right. |

| Very original and very pleasing image. Almost missed the point becuae of the very dimly lit word but wouldn't make the same impact if more visible... great job. |
