It can be a challenge to use a fun tool like Liquefy with restraint, which you have done here. Nice work.

Nice job on the editing, very smoothly done. It must remind some of the mind altered states of the 60's, but clearer. Too bad about the DQ.

This shot has so much WOWOWOWWOWOW potential. I really love the glass, the effects are just mind bogglingly fantastic. The base has to be my absolute favorite part Perfectly oozy. (-;. The Rim is also very fantastic. But, I think you went overboard with the lemon. I would love to see a perfectly intact lemon on this warped glass. I think also keeping the plastic wrap on the inside edge of the lemon would be great and the effect lessens as it goes to the outside.

I really enjoy the green and yellow I think the shades and brightnesses are fantastic, however, I am wondering what if the background was brighter? I would love to see this with all black, and all white variants to really see how the effect changes.

You did a great job here... Just pushed the rules to far and they broke 6-; Nice image (-; and rules are made to be broken.

Bummer about the DQ - this is a really interesting, Dali-esque photo. I think this would sell well. Wonderful lighting and composition.

Really like this photo: the color, composition, and light. The special effect is excellent. With the right frame, and printed in a large size on some really nice art paper, this would look great on a wall.

Wow, I really liked this one too - sorry about the dq! Funny, I thought the glass was real! Wasn't quite sure what happened with the lemon though! I think you did a great job with the pp on this.

way cool glass but which edge do you drink from?! A smooth background might have been nicer that a textured one.
