i like the simplicity, and the water and ice effects. the depth of field i feel is too tight, i can see it on the surface, but it puts the glass itself out of focus.
I really like the shallow DOF here, but unfortunately, the lime seems a bit out of focus. Perhaps slightly deeper DOF would keep the lime and focus and still offer the pleasing background?
