OK, I'll play...

No matter how hot your fires are - always serve your drinks chilled!

    looks great ! very chilled and yummy !did you really burn them up or ?? :D

    the fire on my left glass seems to be coming up abruptly, looks a little pasted ?maybe a smoother transition ? the fire in the bottom and a little something in b/w the glasses is a bit distracting from a very cool shot ..

    Thank you very much for your comments, appreciate it! iloveyou.gif

    No, I din't burn them the fires come from the real fireplace located a just a foot or so behind the glasses.

    Re: pasted. While I in fact did some PS work, the portion you're metioned was like that IRL.

    I agree about the bottom fire being a distraction. I was trying to block it with the drapes, but some still survived. I may need to clone it out.. deal.gif

    Very, very nice, Nik, although I can't help but remember your recent challenge winner. Now that would have made a perfect entry for "steamy" mwink.gif

    Anyway, back to the present. I suggest you clone out whatever that is to the right of the rim of the martini glass with the olive. It keeps drawing my eyes away from the delicious looking drinks.

    Thank you:-)

    Yeah, I can see that :-) I don't think it will fly with the judges, though..mwink.gif Besides, we gotta try something new, otherwise it becomes boring :-)

    Anyway, I agree - anything extra should be removed.
    Just like this:
