I created and posted this to a group at FaceBook, as the final image in a One Picture A Day For Thirty Days challenge … a fascinating exercise in self-discipline and creativity. A commitment to myself more than anything, and one I’m glad I made … but … whew … tougher than I expected. The original posting had the phrase “The End” at the bottom … and the image was created with the idea of using those words, but I liked it alone, showing off the gleam of the reflections, too. If anyone is interested in purchasing with text of any kind, I’m more than happy to add it and post for sale.
Raw image taken with the Nikon D300 and the nifty fifty at 50mm. Aperture f/2.8, shutter 1/2, Manfrotto tripod.

Oh, you know I love this selective focus and shallow dof, Lois ;) So appealing! Can’t drink any more, but I can admire your work.
Thank you, Jan. You know every time I do one of these shallow dof images, I am thinking of you!!!!!

Love the mood you’ve evoked Lois, “One last drink and the party’s over”. The amber tones suites the setting and the DOF sets the story…Jules…Favor

Beautifully done, Lois…goes well with your Midnight Snack image…I think you do these images so well and they are so not easy to expose for….really well done!

Great shot Lois..very well composed..Please add the pub/bar/hotel location if you are adding it to the poubs group…Jamie
Thank you … but this was taken in my dining room, lol, not a pub or bar … so I don’t think it qualifies?

Very nicely done Lois, love the shallow focus, DOF, light, reflections, tones, and color. You certainly hit a home run with this image, advertising TV, magazine quality, should submit this to Crown.
Awesome compliment, Joe … I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it!!!
