A cap from a MexiCoke. With a water drop on it. Overprocessed. Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

MexiCoke = Coke made with real sugar instead of corn syrup. For whatever reason, the US doesn't use real sugar in their Coke, but Mexico does, and here in soCal, if you're willing to pay $18 for a case of bottled Coca Cola, you can get the good stuff. I had a nephew visiting and he suckered me into it. Though I do like it. And I rarely drink soda, so it's a fine treat!

Yes! Yet another sub-50% finish! And it is in focus. Pretty amazing, huh? :-) I think it's the bleach bypass setting in Nik Color Efex, or perhaps that same setting in Lightroom, can't remember which. Set on the porch, evening diffused light (overcast).

I liked your photo and gave this a 7. Only reason it wasn't higher is because I was really looking for more out of the box photos in this challenge. This was higher than I scored those that finished on the front page. I like the dark contrasty look.

Lovely shot Deb! I didn't get a chance to vote, but would have voted this a 7 or 8. Scores just haven't been what they used to be.

My very favorite. And I'm not a big fan of sodas so you did a great job! :) 10
