Default Need some Reviews on this one.....
This is my first Post....My first photo taken with my new Nikon D40......Taken in my first DIY Light box. Post Processing gave it some color. Shot glass is sitting on a piece of plexi-glass. I poured the vodka while taking the shot.

I want to hear the good and the bad...

Thanks..

I really like the composition of the photo. Good for you for making the light box too. The only criticism I have is that I wish I could see more of the highlights. It looks just a little too dark for me. Otherwise great capture.

I actually resized the image for a wallpaper, then did the post processing. It looks a little better viewed as lager image..
Thanks for the feedback.......
