Alcohol Abuse

This is version 2.0 of the image I did some time ago Old Image
I went back and resimulated the whiskey and tweaked the final render a bit.

Comments greatly appreciated!

looks OK, but I think the ice needs some motion blur too, (like the whiskey) and the lack of caustics really strikes me... but apart from that well done user added image

yeah, I agree with Turbo Dan - I am not really buying the ice cubes at the moment - they look too clear. Also, everything is looking just a little bit too clean. I think it would look cool if you scuff things up a bit.
