Nice colours Macka.

Seems sharp, with nice use of DOF. What focal length is it? Seems pretty short?

I would be tempted to clone out the lights in the top left corner, leave it just the street, sky and bar and beer.

Now I need a beer. I blame you. :D

Cheers :D

It's 12mm at s1/8 f8. It was actually the middle shot out of a series of bracketed shots but decided not to go HDR in the end. Mostly because I couldn't get it to work properly.

It has a quality about it....and the light is beautiful! The glasses appear to be floating on a reflection of the sky. A winner.

I like it too Macka.

But with one small quibble - there's something that looks like a fly on the rim of the glass on the LHS. It's probably not a fly - more likely something in the background. However, if it were my pic I'd be tempted to clone it out to remove the awful thought that a fly is crawling around the rim of the glass.

Pro’s

Great colour
Great perspective

Con’s

Distracting roof (clone or crop to pano)
Beer glasses would have greater effect if not sitting on beer mats
Building on right hand side - not sure on left hand view but maybe swinging the building out of view may have made for a more composed shot

Overall

I like :)

One more CON - My glass is not full :(

I think the roof is the biggest glitch though.
