Although the "tree" on the left is bothersome, I feel it is ok because it is "hiding" the "other" person... It makes me think "who is this other person" a friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, cheating...etc.... 7

Ooh, I was struck by this image as soon as it painted on screen. The hair and glass are soo attracting. This is a powerful picture that you should do some more work on. The composition is not getting the most our of it. There's too much dead space bottom and right. As for celebration, it actually looks a bit sad without the title - drinking alone = lonely.

For me, I would get more of a celebration sense if there were someone else next to her. My interpretation is that she is drinking alone, not celebrating - like I said, just my first impression. I do like the lighting and composition though.

Nice tone and feel here.
Exposure looks just right, as do the color levels and dof.
Nicely done (7)

I like the subdued look to this...wish the model and drink were more in focus.

A little dark, but light enough to get the point across. I might suggest dodging the main subject a bit and burning the lighter background - the background is a little distracting. Title works great with this image.

Interesting and true. I think everyone can identify with this. The darkness
adds...glad there is another glass there and know that she is not alone.

This moment seemes so inocent : ) and I´m a sucker for beer, so 9 from me : )
The DOF does a great deal for this image and sharpness is good.

Almost photo journalistic. I wonder if the camera or crop was tilted how this image would have turned out. Great tonal values throughout.

Nice candid moment but I would have liked this a whole lot better if I could see her face but still above average in the challenge so I gave this a 6.

let's hear it for that friday beer!
i feel like the picture wanted to be taken 180 degrees different from where it was...that way the tree would be behind the subject, and you could see more of the subject's face, along with whatever's attached to that hanging elbow. the picture also feels a bit dark, which some levels and curves adjustments may help with...

Great night lighting. The whole image is velvety. I like the urban sense of it too.

I'm not sure whether this looks more like a celebration or someone wallowing in self pity... :)

Nice lighting and atmosphere. Did she know you took her picture?
