382nd Show & Tell Competition: alcohol - WINNER

[grompem]

Lots of fun entries.... And the holidays are coming, so there will be opportunity in the near future to expand your collection on this theme...

First a few runner ups whose fotos I enjoyed...


the rainy background is very atmospheric... you'd really want to stop here and wait until the shower passes


that looks like a drink i'd like to try...


this one could go into any tourist brochure...


another good one from our winner... the image perfect captures the atmosphere of a classic "dive bar"


3rd place

Even though though this image isn't perfect technically, it is a superb candid, capturing a fleeting moment of human interest. The casual cigarette really adds to an already interesting view. Nice job!


2nd place

Similar style as the winning image. Nice use of DoF, expert cropping and rich color. Excellent photographic craftsmanship!

Winner:

The image has many skillful elements, including the cropping, use of DoF and the off-vertical angle of the stem of the glass. Well seen!

Thanks Markus! Creative topic for a contest, lots of good entries.

The blur and angle of my shot could have been influenced by having consumed most of the martini!

Now to pick a new topic.
