| Description | |
There should be no shortage of subject matter here - swilling it, spilling it, pouring or just admiring it. Still life? On the shop shelves? in the brewery? in the pub? The only constraint is the usual necessity of it being taken with a Pentax camera (or accepted clone). The weekly competition entry can come from your archive or be taken specially for the job - Cheers! |

Thanks for the win David and congrats to Nigel and Flan on their 2nd and 3rd. There were some good entries spot on target this week - its a pity it didn't attract a few more entries as the subject was good.
I'll announce this week's topic later today.

Well done to David, for the winning moment photo as it captures exactly a moment in someones life.
Thanks for the placing Davidwoz, and nice one also from Nigelk, who seems to have quite a stock of beers
Surprised also that there were so few entries but time of year probably has people focussing on different tasks.

Slap in the middle of England
Excellent use of leading lines that produces quite an impact. The Dark settiing also emphasises the result in the far distance.
MoorBeer by MikeInDevon
A powerful image that certainly extolls the brewery's products. It all sits firmly in the frame but the composition suggests a 'grab shot'?
The Conversation by Simonmac
A lovely B&W image which illustrates the title very well - including the clever cutting off of the person on the left. I feel that the glass of beer is incidental to the picture's subject.
Beer Can by Perspicador
Probably packs a bit of a punch, as described on the label. The simple colour scheme ensures the can of beer is unmistakably the subject.
A right tasty drop by Drofmit
Again, the beer is certainly the subject. The bottle and glass appear to be placed a bit too close to the backdrop, resulting in a fine shadow around each item which makes a strange illusion that they might be out of focus. They aren't but the shadow still suggests it.
A quiet moment by davidtrout
Absolutely spot on composition and near perfect exposure of a tricky lighting situation. Were she looking anywhere else I would have complained that the beer was a secondary element but her gaze and hand position emphasises it even though it's a tiny item.
One Too Many by flan
Oh, mega cleverICM.
Elephantine Thirst by Noelcmn
The contrasting sizes of the items make for a degree of humour but the toy elephant keeps making my eye dodge from the beer in the glass and to itself like an on-off switch. The main image with its reflection is quite powerful enough of itself and I think the tiny distraction would be better removed?
Some really good quality interpretations of a wide open subject here.
1st David Trout's quiet moment
2nd NigelK's praiseworthy Pale Ale
3rd Flan's OTT ICM of One too many
