The topic was Libations, which I assumed would get more traction given these Covid times...


Honorable Mentions, in no particular order

From Jarek, good times to be had:

Walter Koenig's lonely beer-drinker:
Image

Gill Kopy's treatment: I want one!
Image

Luxun has a nice depiction of the aging process, so crucial for any libation:
Image

Robin Lew's image is a tad dark, but nicely conveys the scene at a drinking establishment among friends:
Image

and...

Third place to Arnie Peterschmidt, with a mouth watering shot of a freshly poured beer. The out-of-focus food in the background adds to the desire. For me, a little more front lighting would have sealed the deal.
Image

Second place to Markus Grompe, who shows how clear things look after you have had a few. That f/1.2 really does the job here:
Image

And the winner is Jola Dziubinska, with a beautifully crafted shot that makes me want to reach for the glass as soon as the pouring is done. Nicely dynamic image.

Jola, it's your turn!

Congratulations to the winners, well deserved, and thanks for recognising my photo.

Making nalewkas', is a Polish favorite, especially sour cherries based, every household has its own recipe for it and claims that their nalewka is the best nalewka in the world (you should try mine, it is the best in the world).

In the photo it is my old friend, Jurek, pouring his cherry nalewka, "wisnowka" - the bast nalewka in the world. It was taken when we visited him in 2007, in his place in Suprasl near Bialystok.
