What a month it has been. Well over a hundred entries for the contest from dozens of beer fans - and God knows how many over at Stonch's, too - and that damn cold is still hanging on. Eric Delia of Richmond, Virginia send the one above today to add to his entries to date and I thought it had really nice light. I am a sucker for a photo of a beer stash but still there is something to that light. It's not just the cold, I tell myself. It's nice light.
So here is the deal. Keep sending entries and I will post them over the weekend. Come Monday evening my time I will start figuring out which prizes get sent where. I have to apologize as I had hoped, frankly, to get something for every entrant but the walloping bug that hit this house took the wind out of my sails. So I will have to pick. That is the only downside of all this goodwill. I have to pick a winner.

..."That is the only downside of all this goodwill. I have to pick a winner." Not to worry Alan, I've taken the liberty and chosen for you:
John Lewington's - "Two Pints of Bitter" on Stonch's site.
No need to thank me,

Believe me, I have my eye on that one...not to pre-judge or anything.

That photo has everything - amazing light, well composed, draws you in, tells a story (what it is, is up to you...even better) and man don't you just wish you were one of those fine young gentlemen. Oh and the pint in that dimpled mug looks so damn inviting.
Great contest - nice work!

I've just posted to remind people to get their entries in - not long to go now...

Has sort of that ominous "Behold..." lighting to it. I'll pretend that was planned and leave it at that.
Not that I don't want to win, of course, but there are some amazing photos to beat in the gallery. "Two Pint of Bitter" is definitely standout, and I liked Paul Marks' shot a lot as well. Really appealing lighting and composition for both.
