considering your title is "serve cold" i would have preferred that the writing as a tad more focused.

with some condensation on it as well!
What is the beverage may I ask?
Cheers

Would that be the Reader's Digest Condensed version that you refer to Deb?

hehe... thanks for the suggestions..
This was a shot of chance... It was a can of Kilkenny I had with lunch on saturday...
as for focus, It was a choice between the writing or the ring pull, at that f-stop it could not be both (hand held at 105mm... needed shutter speed)

Scott
Apologies in advance for being brutal as I'm only going to focus on what is missing from the shot (you and others know the good).
- The orange cast doesn't work for me. It's been a month or so since I had a Kilkenny (nice beer
) so I'm not sure if the top is this colour, but my expectations of the top of a can are for silver - I think the shot would have been stronger with some condensation on it (I think you just dampen it and throw salt on it)
- I'd have liked to have seen the entire circle of the top of the can and possibly some OOF side
So go tell Louise you HAVE to go out and buy some more cans to practice getting it right

Nice idea Scott...
For myself I'm happy that not all shots require clinical sharpness as that can detract from the emotional experience.
The colour cast is fine by me as well... not having any idea what the true colour ought to be... and there's nothing wrong with colour via reflection.
The one thing that I think really isn't right here is the cropping and that is giving the shot a poorly balanced appearance.
