 Coke falling over ice cubes in a glass bowl. Used a flashlight to light the scene. Camera was on tripod and used the timer to avoid camera shake.

Only got a few minutes, but I figured a short comment is better than no comment.
The shadow in the back distracts from the image in my opinion. I do like the refreshingness of this shot. I think that the close up really makes this for me.
Your focus and clarity of the ice is really good. I like the detail in the ice actually. You captured the texture very well.
I also like the bubbles from pouring it in.
Something is missing though. I'm not really sure what. It's just not holding my attention like I want it to. Maybe it's how it gets dark in the back and than leads to the shadows on the wall?
Overall decently done, just not my cup of....whatever it is. lol

the lighting is strange, but I like the textures of the ice and the bubbles of the coke. The macro shot close in is a nice touch as well. :)

Lighting and background aren't real good. If you wanted to get the fizzing, then there should have been more of it. Focus is ok though not real sharp. Just not real interesting. 4

Nice creamy/foamy effect, and I like the way the liquid comes off the ice. Maybe a bit too much ice -- 'on the rocks' doesn't have to mean 'completely full of ice cubes', and it means we get to see less liquid. The folds in the backdrop are slightly distracting.

You have a good idea here, but what's lacking is the clarity. A little sharper and this would be very good.
