 Why do I do this???? Talk about scrounging. I took the shot, then came up with a title. Actually, I like the picture. Just not sure how "movie-ish" it is.

cropped, brightened using "screen", desaturated the greens and yellows, hue shifted the red to pink (actually, it was already pinkish, but more on the red side, I just pushed it a bit), neat image, resized, usm.

Sorry, but I'm struggling to find a focal point and the tilt just doesn't do anything for the shot IMO.

For some reason the angle of the straw is distracting to me... Don't ask me why but it is.

the lack of people and the use of "concoctions" instead of cocktails makes me think this movie will be fascinated with the process of making mixed drinks, which sounds like a boring movie. Nice composition, though, with a poster-like simplicity and bold lines.

I am not quite sure how the subject andbackground interrelate. The lighting is a little bit dullm, and for a still life, could do with being a bitmore dramatic.

Nice color tones, but the drink seems a little less than sharp.

You probably have heard this already, and you likely did it for effect, but the horizon tilt doesn't really work well here. The background wooden railing (?) also distracts from the image, by leading the eye away from the glass. I think if you move the glass to the left, to remove the wood out of the frame, and just used the hills as a backdrop, it would improve the image a lot.
