Thumbs up

fantastic shot.

would have been better if the corona was opened, the slice of lime inserted and the bottle in my hand... but we can't always have what we want.

nice use of the light and reflections. does make me feel like i'm ready to drink a cold one on a balmy summer evening.

thumbs up!

Thanks! Actually I took some shots with the bottles open too but they just didn't have the same appeal as this image. Glad you like it though!

What a fun photo! Love the reflections, nice DOF, and the sun flare really adds a feeling of summer at the beach. Thanks for sharing it.

Great shot. I like the reflection and the DOF you achieved. Thanks for reminding me that summer exists somewhere, even if it is in the past

Nice composition... I see Houston is expecting snow; that pic should help to get you thru the winter.

Hah! You've just uncovered the reason I needed to dig up a bit of summer this morning. It's freezing down here..

Thanks! Well I guess the true test of that is how many DPS readers end up sipping a Corona tonight.

Drink responsibly people!
