Kim what an awesome photo! My fave part is the reflection. So crisp and clean. Love that background lighting too.

a little closer shot would have got you a ribbon for sure. This is an amazing set you have here but I think all the space got you.

Splash shots generally do pretty well. This ought to wind up placing fairly high. Nice work on the reflection.

Wow; I am refreshed just looking at this shot. This reminds me of a a martini I had in Boston's Italian North End at a Soccer bar/espresso/martini joint. It was called the Blue Hawaiian. The drink was not as pretty as your photo, with all teh wonderful gradations of blue- (from painting I recognize the table color as paynes grey- a mix of ultramarine blue and a cool ivory black its a great shadow color) but it sure made me walk about 6 feet of the street. Good luck- my top three.
