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!
