Strawberry Fizz revisited

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I took a few different shots during my strawberry fizz session. Though I would share a few of them with you guys.

This is the one I submitted

The colours werent right int this one but I like the golder glow on the bubbles off the side of the glass.

Sure Bindii

I used the sigma 105mm on the D70 shooting in manual mode. About F16.

I also used the SB800 in remote mode sitting on top of the glass of champagne, (directly above). I love this feature of the D70/SB800 combo (remote flash) without the need for any cords. It gives you a lot of flexibility.

If that doesnt make sence then let me know and i will clarrify.

Cheers

Nice photos. The colours and sharpness are amazing. I'd like to see more of strawberry in a frame though.
