A quick entry that just didn't have the time to setup properly or photograph how I wanted. Had to get something in for the TPL teammates! Hopefully won't let them down too bad with this entry that I just am not happy with.

Not sure why you had low hopes for this or why it didn't do much better. It's really well done, and with a few basic ingredients you've got a great high-key and richly muted color shot here. Processing is excellent. I'd certainly be happy to be able to do this, but I don't think I could. Maybe because I lack the light, living in a cave as I do.
Either way, it's a major departure from your B&Ws, and it's good to mix it up to stay fresh.
I think this is great!
Nice clean image. Love how you can see the fizzies on the raspberries in the drink.
Great choice for the challenge... something other than the sun!
Well done.
