Two or More People Inside a Pub or Bar

After some deliberation I settled on this as my winning image. I love everything about it - from the graininess, the apparent un-posed nature of the 3 guys in the shot, to the stark overall contrast between the light and dark areas - and all topped off with the hats they're wearing, which is the stand-out element for me. Great - and congratulations on your winning entry.

I love the overall documentary feel to this shot, and the refreshing apparent lack of too much - if any - post-processing....something others would do well to consider in my opinion. Here we have what appears to be a lifetime together, and all summed up in one fleeting moment. Another great opportunity grabbed by both hands. Well done, and many thanks for your entry.

What an amusing and well-timed shot. Like most I suspect, I did a double take wondering if the gentleman concerned is actually wearing any trousers or not...! I also find it faintly amusing with regards the expressions being worn by others in the shot....are they doing their best to ignore proceedings I wonder? Well done, and my thanks for your entry.

Another well timed and observed shot. Whilst some elements may upset the purists amongst us, I think - overall - it works brilliantly. This is what such shots are all about - telling a story - and you've achieved that in spades. Nice one, and many thanks for your entry.

We have all, at some time or another, posed for such shots whilst out drinking or partying. There were a good number of these type of shots entered into this competition - but what makes this one stand out of course is the narrow depth of field, and therefore the focus on the hand at the forefront. I like it and my thanks for your entry.
