I'm looking for feedback on the appeal of this particular photo,

particularly with regards to the composition and color choices. Do

you like?

Wonderful

I love this image. Your choice of color works well. Very well.

cool

The mixing of B&W and color is starting to get slightly overdone, but it works very well here. Congratulations.

looks fantastic

compelling - I could go for one of those right now!! composition well thought.

Very nice. Great PS work

I agree with Sam above, the "partial destaturation to add emphasis" is getting very overdone and tiresome. HOWEVER, it really works well here. This actually made me get up out of my chair and go for a cold drink (albeit non-alcholic, i'm at work!).

 

very well done!

I appreciate all the wonderful candid feedback on this photo. I do have to say the "overdone" comments bug me a bit though... I don't think because other photographers/artists have tried something before that it should invalidate someone else's attempts. This is my first crack at the grayscale/color mixing. I am very pleased that despite the weariness of this stylistic choice for some, the photo has still gone over well. Thank you.

Excellent shot. The color is just enough to bring it the desired effect. In this case, subtle is best.

I wonder if you can increase the grain size of the background (as this is a digital photo). that would perhaps make it seem like a hot day, nothing like a cool, cooool drunk :) me reaching for my coke :(

(also remove the glare from the glass, and burn the white in the background just a wee bit)
