Definitely a cool idea! I like it a lot. I wish you would've included a bit more color, or maybe less white (cropped differently) in the picture but this definitely works for me.
nice shot that fills the brief well i thought. to me the barrel distortion was a little off putting, but the lighting is excellent, high score from me!
Great image. The colors are very diverse in their shades. I don't like the vignette, though. I'm not necessarily being thrown out of the image with anything; the colors in the water are so soft and curling that they aren't pointing me anywhere or anything...so I think the vignette is adding unnecessary grays to the image (maybe a bit lighter vignette would be a bit more appropriate). I love the shades of orange, red and magenta happening here. It partly reminds me of blood...but then I see the slight purple and I don't even consider it at first glance. This was very clever. I don't think vodka drinkers want to (at least when sober) mix blood and vodka! Very good image.
