Was out playing with my Sigma 70-200 2.8 lens when I spotted this guy taking a drink..... he sorta reminded me of Mr Miyagi out of the Karate Kid.....
Anyway, doubt it's a winner but I kinda like it...
Nothing special here, bit of cropping and slight increase in saturation.

Man you really got robbed on this shot. It was one of my favourites for the challenge.

3 X 1's and 7 X 2's???? Come on voters, that is so insulting!

Colors, DOF, composition good. The drops from the cup is an added bonus. Interesting subject that meets the challenge. The only thing that detracts from this shot is the blurred orange object to the right of the spout. Not sure what it is but wish it wasn't there. However that's nit picking. Great shot. Good luck.

Nice contrast. Subject has a good photogenic character. Nice effect with the water dripping off the cup. I might have tried a tighter crop from the dripping cup upward.

Captures the mood...

Very sharp and clear. You've captured the guy's emotions perfectly, and the drips from the cup in his hand give that added impact to this photo. The shallow DOF really highlights your main subject all that more (10)

I love this shot. Title, everything about it works for me. This is the kind of shot I want to take some day. I'm guessing this is done with a DSLR.
