Can't say I was originally planning on entering this challenge, but the idea entered my head at about 3pm on the last day to enter. Don't have a studio or anything so I took my coke cans outside, plopped them down on a table, sprayed some water on them, took some pictures.

Didn't plan on inverting the shot, but it seemed to make it a little more abstract, which will probably make it score lower, but I don't care.

My score prediction... 4.743

From the Critique Club:

First of all, let me preface by saying that I'm not a big fan of abstracts. I understand their appeal, they're just not my cup of tea. That said...

This shot, though kinda cool, just doesn't look like an abstract to this viewer. I love the tones that you achieved by inverting the shot but inverting doesn't equal abstract. I think that and the fact that Coke really ain't a food is what took away from your score for this challenge. Now if this was a beverage challenge or a blue (green? I have some color issues) challenge, this would be the bomb!

Yours
TC
