Greetings from the Critique Club!

First Impression:
First thought was "NO NOT THE BEER!" then I read your title.

Subject: It seems that people had two feelings towards this picture, some thought it was interesting and others thought it lacked a certain something for the Best of 2009 challenge. Personally I thought it was a pretty cool idea! Being a fan of beer I really liked this shot, I gave it a 7.

Technical: The selective desaturation works well to highlight the beer taps. I'm not a big fan of how the angle, I think it would have worked better straight or fully diagonal.

Final thoughts: Now I'm thirsty, if it wasn't 2:07 here I'd drink a beer.

If you have any questions click here to message me!

Senay

Pretty neat idea. Of the ones that I can see and recognize. I'll have a Franziskaner!

A rather confusing pic for me yet interesting. I can see this working much better given different lighting but rather overwelmed by whats in front of me

A neat looking place, and a fun idea. I'm not crazy about the selective desaturation... it just seems like it was used gratuitously here.

What a cool fountain. Desat has worked well here to bring attention to the handles which may have been lost in color.

How awesome is that! From a photography standpoint, I think there are better options for angels on this one and besides the subject matter, it's lacking the "wow factor".
