Not a cocktail man myself; I always head for lager, beer, wine and then spirits in this order and never mix drink types in the same glass. This system of consumption has served me well for decades! Got to admit though your creation is tempting me!! My mind boggles at trying to work out what "green dragon" is that makes cocktails with it so illegal? Not heard of this cocktail here in the UK, but then I am not an expert. Think your image is superb, very well done, best of luck in your contest!

Super creativity for the contest! Lots of leaves, insects, etc. usually seen. The green sure hits you - even brings the green stripes in the straws out. I also like the contrast of the tray edge and cherries, and even the white of the straws.

Interesting concept of the colour green. Picture itself is clear. very sharp and well placed. My eye though is drawn to the red cherries and the white straws. I'm not sure how this will sit with the contest judges. Good luck though.

Great story on the history of this drink. Well presented and great focus and lighting. I like the subtle imagery in the background and there certainly is a lot of green. Best of luck in the contest.

This is a really neat picture.
Good notes. I never knew what was in a Grasshopper, and am now motivated to find a place that serves them.
Love the greens, and also the two cherries.
I think the texture must have created the look of it that I like.
very clear image with nice shininess.
you addition of text is a good idea.
like the reflection of the glass on the stand, and the transparency of the water.
like how the straws extend out to the right into the green space.
good composition.
good amount of light.
well done.

Interesting image, and in my opinion a great entry for the contest. Beautifully composed. The cocktail really stands out and I love the background. Nice focus. Really enjoyed reading your notes... I never realized there were so many types of Grasshoppers. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Well it's a little early here in the UK for a cocktail (9.00am) but I do like the sound of these grasshoppers!! A creative and different photograph that works really well for the contest. Good luck!

Very bright and vivid color of green served on a gold platter for one's drinking pleasure. This is a great work of art, very unique presentation, very well thought out. I like the reflection in the tray and the two cherries and white straws balance the image and really just send it over the top. Very nice work. I will you good luck in the contest.
