Took this a few nights ago. It's of my friend Kim. Started out as just a snapshot. But I noticed that there was some stopped motion here. I adjusted brightness and contrast to overexpose the photo. I just think it looks cooler that way. Peace out.

I might have used different lighting in this situation or tried to use the shadows to my advantage by capturing the stop motion of the dropping liquid in the shadow (you almost got it) as well as what you have captured with the subject. It is an interesting shot none the less.
There is an awful lot of double imaging in this shot. Also the exposure is too bright. The fluid looks like it was stopped well, but it's size in the overall picture makes it hard to tell for sure.
You caught the alcohol pour well, but the rest of the shot suffers. The shutter speed might not have been fast enough - there is still blur no the woman's body (particularly noticeable in the higher contrast areas). The lighting is a little harsh as well. This and the overall warm color balance might have been helped by desaturating all but the bottle.
great concept, the lighting could be better. try lighting the back ground with a soft light to eliminate the shadow. actually just move the subject to a different location that is darker. I personally like dramatic effects and would have had the girl dump the bottle upside down for a more intense flow of vodka. and the plus is that she will have to be loaded by the 10th shot. good idea
the shadows are terrible, you need to be aware of the background and the lighting. I guess this is taken with a flash, and it really shows. Sorry to be so brutal.
The composition works well. The flash lighting is a bit harsh as the highlights are very bright and the shadow on the wall detracts from the impact of the image.
The red colours are not very pleasant. Doing this shot outdors with a more interesting background would help a lot. And you would get rid of the unwanted shadows
You should try to improve upon the background.. use a plain colored background.. for this shot a plain white or a plain black should do the job for you.. a black is useful if you don't wan the shadows, else you might use white as well.. ..also I see some motion blur on the neck and hands
