 Definitely not my best entry but when suffering from insomnia this is the best way to kill time.

The recipe is simple. 1 part Creme de Menthe and 1 part Bailey's (or equivalent). First pour Creme de Menthe and then the Bailey's using a spoon to get the layer effect. Best enjoyed ice cold.

Post processing was simple. Crop, levels, curves, saturation and USM.

wow I definately want to try this. Maybe to much light on the bottom. Nice focus

pretty cool effect on this one...like the "invisible" portion of the glass...along with placement of the bottle....7

Creme de Mint, Bailys and ??? Looks like fun but the kind of fun that hurts the morning after!

Excellent high key styled composition. Like how the floating glass adds style and interest to the image. Well done technical achievement.

Why the icelandic way?

Ãað ætti að vera brennivín í þessu til að gera þetta að alvöru Ãslenskri fullnægingu....

Does this explain why there are so few Icelanders?
A little too bright for my taste

Glass looks a bit overexposed.

Extremely vibrant green. I don't like the blown out edges of the shot glass.

Please straighten the glass. I feel like I've already had a few.

No steam rising? Needs nuking. Very colorful. Must eat now. Bye!

Overexposed, the bottle in background is redundant, doesn't add anything.
Sorry.

could use being on more of an angle or straightened up as it looks like its going to slide of the picture...

It looks almost drinkable, probably is. I gave this a 7. I think the white was over done that even the glass outline isn't too visable and I personally don't think it works well for this shot. That's my opinion of it. It's colourful and it's probably what attracts me to it in the first place. You did excellent on the composition. Keeping the bottle at the top corner was wise, it gives a little extra emphasis on colours and it's working for me.

Over exposed, harsh lighting

A tad overexposed, but I love how the colors (green/coffee) came out.

did you have a couple of these before you took the shot - it seems a bit wonky to me

AKA the 'dirty ozzy' or the 'aftereight' MMMmmm...
Nice shot (both the drink & the photo!)

i understand the artisitc approach but in my opinion it would be better with lower exposure and straight glass :-)
overall good photo

probably a little more work needed on the lighting...composition looks fine
