Alcohol

I love the way the light dances through the glass and liquid and the way it is reflected and refracted on the wall. I sense echoes of the great Hungarian photographer André Kertész coming through this image. The handling of the black and tones is perfectly balanced. Good work!

Another, slick and accomplished image that has been carefully produced to a high standard, An image like this wouldn't look out of place as a magazine ad. I particularly like the blue rim around the bottle. Nicely done, great work.

I love the sense of place evoked in this scene. The condensation on the window is rich with atmosphere which is enhanced by the rich darkness of the shadow areas. The hint of green in the curtain is lovely and creates a wonderful contrast with the orange and reds of the liquids.

Beautiful use of light and colour to evoke mood and atmosphere. The net curtain with shadows creates the perfect backdrop allowing just enough light to pass through onto the bottles. The bottles themselves have been nicely arranged to create a very satisfying composition.

What a great capture. Timing is of the essence here. Snapping the wonderful swirls of liquids mixing has been perfectly executed. I wonder how many Ices Bailey's Iced Coffees were used consumed in the making of this image. To nail it the first time would have been a great accomplishment.

This highly accomplished image is an eloquently original and beautifully creative interpretation of the theme. It's a tricky theme in which to be unique but this striking tableau oozes originality. Not only is it wonderfully creative it has also been expertly crafted from a technical perspective. Excellent work!

Exquisitely executed study of glass and liquid. The attention to detail is what really makes this image stand out. Every element is precisely and meticulously placed and composed, which is not as easy as the photographer has made it look. The lighting is superb too. Really well done!

This is an intriguing idea with a wonderfully surreal twist. The gravity-defying liquid has been really well-conceived and realised. I love images that make you stop in your tracks to wonder how on earth they were made. Clever work, well done.

It is interesting to see how the landscape has been integrated into this theme. I love the starkness of this barren topography. The beer barrel adds a poignant anchor to the image that is loaded with potential meanings and interpretations.

Excellent use of light. The wonderful warm tones dancing through the glass and onto the pages of the book not only add depth but also a rich sense of atmosphere. The tones, colour and composition have all been artfully handled.

A simple and effectively designed image. The black and white tones are crisp, clean and skilful controlled, while the composition has been carefully considered. There's something very 'retro' looking about this image. Perhaps it reminds me of an old Guinness advertisement.

There is a lovely sumptuous, richness to the tones and colours in this beautifully designed composition. The lighting has been artfully handled to emphasise the shape and curves of the glass without any unwanted glare and the colour of the liquid is delightfully vibrant and radiant.

Nicely conceived image. I love the way the loan, upturned floating can be seen as a metaphor and work on many different levels depending on how you look it. From a technical point of view, the composition and colour palette are balanced and harmonious.
