I like the way the light is a spotlight on the vintner, but the shadows it is casting are harsh. I suspect this was not a "studio" shot where you could control the lighting, so I will say that I like your composition and the inclusion of the wine barrels. A very nice take on the challenge.

Looks like its from a brochure for a winery, or even better a great informal portrait of a winemaker. Beautiful light 10

Beautiful lighting. I can almost feel warm tones rising from this image, even though its black and white. Wonderful portrait that would look great in any winery. Creative idea for this challenge. It works very well. 9

Very nice b&w. Nice story about a liquid. Composition is wonderful with the dark cruving roof above the mans white hair. The light making tha shadow of the glass on the barrels is a little out of place in this otherwise softly lit scene. I'd crop the bottom a bit. Nevertheless - very enjoyable, one of my favorites. 9

I like this photo. However, I think I would lighten the mid-tones & shadows. Slightly lighten the highlights.

Different take on the challenge. By making the liquid such a smaller part, it gets a special emphasis. Impressive submission.

While technically not a picture where the subject is OF a liquid, this still says "liquid" to me. I like the dramatic lighting!

This is my favorite photo this week. I love the lighting and the overall mood/theme of this photo. This photo screams 'wine' to me. I don't like your title though... = 10
