[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My wife and I just spent a week in Cyprus hiking and relaxing. One of the first days we had hiked around the valley of the Saint Neophytos Monastery and we were finishing the walk with a beer in the monastery cafe. Imagine my scare when I saw this sign from above in my beer!
Luckily it turned out to be the last two letters of the name of the beer "Leon" reflected through the glass by courtesy of that lovely cypriotic sunshine. So we continued to enjoy the good life and paid a most interesting visite to the monastery after quenching our thirst.

Resized for web, chilled and sharpened.

I think the brewery must rethink its name, Per ;o). Someone made a huge marketing mistake here LOL. I like how you chilled the beer before posting it. I hate warm beer.
Nice compo, and very well seen... TFS.

Good shot here Per and well noticed. You could create your own advert here for not drinking and driving. great shot and good note too :)

What a shock that must have been, Per! By the way - how do you chill in PS? - some tool I haven't discovered yet?

Good to see you back: David

Great funny shot and note - I first thought it was some PS trick but when I opened the big picture (and read your note), I realized what's the deal. Very well noticed and captured - I like the crisp sharp bubbles on the foam. Good job.

A votre santé!

This would be scary to see in a beer glass, very funny shot.

this is nice. very well captured and good creativity too...hehehe... TFS

Good effect! Is that make you renonce to drink for all the holiday period? I like these kind of observations...

Ha! Cheers for having the good life! *,) Yeah, chilled in PS how's that?

I could just imagine your reaction...smile...
Very interresting shot, Good POV... TFS

Good catch Per!! Most interesting compo of this brewery product. Something for a campaign against alcohol. Well seen, well done!

Btw. Did you use a polarizer filter?

Oh, this is so cool. The beer and the reflection. Well spotted. Very nice sharp picture. The bubbles are in focus very well.
I like your humour:
