CH45: Dry martini??

[Mitchell]

Any thoughts on this one?

the idea is a great one - I hadn't thought of a dry martini


I'd sure like to see the same shot on a high-key light background or a black background - no shadow if possible - how about a backlit shot?.

Any thoughts on this one? A good idea, thinking outside the obvious. But, the glass if filled with liquid without any hint of dry. Maybe with the bottles. I don't drink Gin, but I believe you can get bottles with the word dry on them. It might add to it.

Good idea that deserves following up on:clap.

Just my .02,

See Adrian's post for some Dry Gin.

I'm not a martini drinker, but it is my understanding that a dry martini has just a hint of vermouth. I tried to show this with the single drop coming down into the glass.

If I have to explain it, it obviously is not a good idea!:rolleyes

I had this idea but hadn't gotten off my lazy butt to try it (not much into still-life stuff). I wondered if anyone would get the idea.

Here's a recipie for a dry Martini: http://www.droogle.ca/drinks/8494/

I was going to stick the bottle of Extra Dry Gin in next to the Martini glass. Perhaps you could try that. Right now it's not really working.

Also, the lighting seems kind of harsh. You need to find a way to diffuse it.

Just my thoughts.

I like this entry because its dry in liquid form. Well done.
