 I was planning to make lemonade over the weekend, so this challenge was exactly what i needed.

1 cup lemon juice +
1 cup lime juice +
2 cups sugar (or Splenda) +
8 cups water
--------------
Delicious summer beverage


I built a very simple lightbox for this shot. I was hoping to use the sun as my lighsource, but the material i used was a bit too thick, and i couldn't find a good spot in the house with direct sunlight. It came out a bit darker then i wanted, but overall i am very happy with it.

nice color and detail, maybe a little crop off the top would be nice, otherwise, nice image, 6.

Although these are beverage ingredients.. it doesn't work for me.

I find this a bit on the bright side. I think a lot of the wonderful details in this image are washed out.

I love the idea of this photo, and the square ice cubes are cool, but I think the lemons and limes needed a big color pop to really make it stand out.

I like the composition, the cubes lead right up to the limes and lemons.
i dislike the way the more i move up on the photo the brighter it gets until its overexposed.

I like your take on the challenge. Different, but certainly meets the description. The only thing I would have done would be to bump the saturation up a little, as I think the lighting sucked a litle of it out. Nice work!

nice setup, but the lighting is a little too flat for me

Clever take. I like it. Strong composition. Decent use of the negative space.
