 Love my Martinis. Had a tough time keeping the olives in focus though!
Cropped the original; adjust the brightness; then sharpened. Final adjustment of size for the web.
Kind of an oxymoron to call it a still life then action. But that is basically what it was. Stirred for every shot!

Beautiful photo, very well executed. Doesn't hit me as an action photo though, sorry.

Not getting any sense of action. Looks tasty, though.

Nice shot. I wonder if a black napkin or darker background would have brought the action out more.

Are you stirring with the olives? Reflextions near the top of the shot are distracting. Crisp, clear shot.
