Skeeter,
A very nice set-up and capture. I can almost feel the chill of the glass. Seeing this image gets me to thinking about the art of cropping. I like yours, btw.
Don't Bogart that shaker... pass it over to me.

Lee,
I think it was a long shoot. Can't remember when it wrapped up though! I appreciate your comments.

David, Thanks for the compliments. I usually think that my camera crops are good until I actually see them on screen. YUK. The challenge then begins to create the best possible composition through cropping. Occasionally I'll make the good choices and get it right.

Here's the shaker [], pour one up Y

Skeeter, I think this is probably one of your best shots to date. Good job! I love the colors and the sweat on the glass. It's great. Looks like something out of Crate and Barrel (meant to be a compliment)

Regards,
Eman

Taken as a supreme compliment, Eman. Any time I can muster a good shot with my toy camera, it's worth the effort. I appreciate your input and support. I will be upgrading to a better camera soon (still not a D60).

Not as good as your bug, Joann. But my shot was more fun to consume after the shoot! Thanks for stopping by.

It's delicious! Here's the secret recipe.
Shhhh. Don't tell anyone:
4 shots of premium (chilled) vodka, 1 shot of Chambord Royale (raspberry liqueur) and a splash of cranberry (tasty and red). Pour over crushed ice in a shaker and shake wildly (or crush ice with pestle). Pour through a strainer and sip delightfully. (photograph if necessary).
