Drinks are on me, :1drink since we are a drinking crowd.I would love an opinion..especially on composition..

I don't think the pattern is strong enough to stand up as an abstract in the first one but I do like the colours & textures.

I much prefer the 2nd shot, great colours and textures, but this has interesting shapes, lines and patterns too I think you could probably get even more from the colours with a little post work.

before you start pouring...we need bigger...bigger!

Whoa two mods in one thread. See Angelo it just takes a little booze...

Gubbs thnxs for taking the time .. I agree on the second as well , I increased the saturation a bit.

It's great to see you breaking away from the normal comfortable shots and taking some chances with more abstract subjects.


This image doesn't do much for me. There is a lot of blue, and not much contrast to give it the character to stand up on its own. I tried this shot in B&W, and Sepia, but that right side doesn't work with either. I think you could re-shoot & really explore it at different angles & compositions. Shooting more from any side will add some dimension to the right side. It will help break up that almost solid color there w/ shadows and a feeling of scale.


This shot has a lot of potential. Good lines & lots of texture. I did a quick high contrast B&W conversion & sepia treatment. I think you could play with the angle of your shot to help make it more dramatic. Straight on is very flat, where an angle could make it 3D & show some great contrast. Lots of potential there.


I think you nailed this one. Great composition. It really focus on the lines & textures. I think the increased saturation was a good move too. I'm a sucker for bold pushed colors on a shot like this.

Really great effort & ideas on these shots. I think if you went back & took the time to really explore it, you'd come back with some great shots. Don't be afraid to get down & dirty. I often come back with very dirty & stained clothes to get the shot. The unique angle thats not been done before.

I think it was steve that posted a link to a very good video. The video was about getting the shot, the right answer. If you didn't see it, I can dig up the post for you. Very inspirational stuff that everyone should see.
