Should be simple enough. Basically any liquid made for drinking. Excluding Water.

Rules:
Playing this tournament is simple:

A tournament involves 11 different members max.
The winner of the last tournament will give a theme, and those who want to participate will post their pictures (Only one per person). Please, No more than eleven participants total.

When all participants have entered their picture in the tournament (please submit a link along with your picture), I will then create another thread to vote on the pictures via a poll. Located in the Off Topic sub forum.

Further Rules:
- No spot saving; you will only be counted if you have a picture submitted.
- Only one picture may be posted at a time, if you decide to change it, please edit the original post.
- No posting an image that has previously won a competition.
- When voting you are not allowed to vote for your own submission.

So in brief:
- Users who wish to participate please post your image within this thread followed by a link to the image source.
- If entering a slightly computer manipulated photo, please post the original along with it so users who are voting can see the difference.
- After eleven participants have entered the tournament, a second thread will be made with a poll to vote on the pictures.

Winners will simply be the one who gets the most votes (please no voting for yourself). He/she will then create another thread in which they propose a different theme for the next tournament.

Please resize your pictures to an acceptable resolution.
This tournament will have 5 days of voting.

You are permitted to change your image but if you could just change the URL in your original post and leave an edited comment with it.

Have fun & enjoy.

Great photos! Wish I had something I could use (and no, I can't go and take one :p)

And why not? Whats stopping you from pouring a glass of fine wine?? The only thing thats stopping me is my lenses haha. My 18-55mm kit lens is just horrible with macros. Although, I could try using my Canon S110.... I havent really played with the macro much on it and its image quality is generally better than my Nikon so I might try and get something with it.

I actually might have something in mind.....a little product photography I was thinking about doing at work today but I havent the product for it yet.

You can do some decent macro with that... I mostly do all my macros with a similar lense :)

Im not saying its not decent, it is. But it still doesnt focus as close as my Nikon E990s lens did and that was an old point and shoot. My E990 had an amazing macro ability.

Yeah it's definetly not a macro lens, but you can get some very nice results with it :) . That's what I meant.

The shot doesn't even have to be a macro shot, think outside the box!

Haha I am! I was thinking about doing a product shot of orange juice and an orange with a twist but I have been busy lately so I havent got around to it. I think Ill just sit this one out.

Well lets see, I don't have wine, and I don't have a fine glass to use lol.

Just get some extension tubes for your lens, costs < $50 and turns any lens into a macro lens by lowering the minimum distance you have to be for focusing.

Does it reduce image quality?
