Due to lack of time, I opted out of PESOs but was quite pleased to get this one. It looks very good; I really like the blue on black and the lime-green on black. The texture of the ice is also great. I have one quibble with the edge definition of the lime; it is so sharp(ened???) that it looks like it's later superimposed. With respect to the wedge idea (and the lime looking out of place), I think that the glass and lime could be on different depths to give the picture a bit of, err, depth :-) Perhaps glass at the front and lime at the back? Or vice-versa? However, this would be a different picture to the one you envisaged and successfully shot. Speaking of which, you would not happen to have a picture of your flash setup, would you? I will learn a lot from a critique on my critique, Kostas
