December Challenge

[billz]

I know it's a busy time of year, but for those interested how about a December photo challenge? The purpose is to get us away form our computers and back to our cameras for a few minutes, and the theme for the challenge is a beverage.

Use your imagination … whether it's a steaming espresso, a holiday eggnog, a colorful juice or an adjective-free glass of tap water. Feel free to photoshop this one as much as you like … maybe make it a card or an ad if you're so inclined.

Challenge guidelines:
Theme: A beverage
Posting deadline: 31 December, 2005
Photoshop restrictions: None.

Please post only photo links to this thread. Comments should be posted to the corresponding Comment thread.

Kevq,
How come I can't see your pictures?
SarahMB:confused:

[kevq]

Sarah,
What browser are you using?
Also if you go to -

you should be able to check if your browser is compatible.

Being cheeky. You are clicking the thumbnail.:) :)

Have just checked the site FAQ and this is what it says -

What are the system requirements for use of the ImageShack Website?
Use of the ImageShack website requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0+ or Mozilla FireFox 1.0+ on a Pentium-compatible 50mhz+ computer. If you can see this text, you have satisfied the requirements.

Kev.

Kev,

I can not see a thumbnail to click :D When I go to imageshack it brings up their "home page":confused:

[karen donnybrook]

Kev,

By the time I had written and posted my last post and got back to the forum, your thumbnail had appeared :D

Great image, love the effect for the storm in the teacup

[kevq]

Hello,
I deleted my second try because it didn't work.
This is my new one.
It is more in keeping with our British naval tradition, the ship is the Sir Galahad, a ship that took part in the Falklands War.

Hi Karen,
Loved them all.

OK, no more excuses for me to not participate -- here is my Beverage entry taken on the back porch where I smoke since I don't smoke inside the apartment.

I've heard of iced coffee, but this is taking to extremes.:D
Good idea though.

[karen donnybrook]

Gary, I prefer the red, the blue just looks too cold for my liking.

[GaryK]

Karen

It was a tut on how to make a frosty picture..I could have used a better subject, but this was open on the screen:)

[billz]

Well I finally posted a picture. Thought I was going to miss my own challenge. This is from a little Mexican place we frequent.

[karen donnybrook]

I see Raffy had a good Christmas, Alice. Only one thing wrong with your photo, the bottle is unopened :D .

[raffy]

Hi,Karen! Actually,you can't see the pile of empties that are in the recycling box-I"m tempted to hide them in the trash.
He's a real party animal!

[karen donnybrook]

Alice maybe you should have included a few of the empties :rolleyes:
