Hi. This is my first submission on this site. I've been following for nearly 2 years or so and I just got my first ever DSLR yesterday. This challenge was open so I just snapped up an ice cold sprite and put it on a desk in my room =]

Although the challenge is based on basic editing, the entry should have been given much thought and preparation. It would be very unfair if i judged this based solely on editing and not give points for other criteria such as concept, lighting, composition and the overall look to which the other entries excel.
In spite of the limitations on the amount of editing work which could be performed on this photograph, much could have been done to improve this image through cropping, tone/color adjustments and the likes. Nevertheless a point for being on topic :-)
Looks like you didn't put much time or thought into this. There are distractions in the background, the framing is haphazard, and the label isn't even in view.
