Congrats guys. Excellent effort.

Have a feeling the next theme has something to do with wine? That or one of those "corkers" a lad gives his little brother in the leg!

Hi guys

Thanks so much - Very happy to get the first place in this competition. this has been a goal of mine for a while! My glass is frothing over with excitement. What a great finish to the day.

Not bad for a shot inspired over a late night and a few bottles of champagne.

For those interested the shot was achieved using a Sigma 105mm macro plus an SB800 in remote mode held above the glass of champagne.

Thankyou to all those who voted. And congrats to the other high quality entrants.

Cheers
Steve
