My thanks to all who participated for their great photos and for being so supportive of a newbie fumbling to host a challenge. And now, without further delay or platitudes...
The RUNNERS UP:
Michael Friedman
The Bartender (A scene so timeless that, with a few scratches, dodges and burns, it could pass for a photo of a Prohibition-era speakeasy caught on an old 4x5 camera; beautiful contrast and shadow):
SharonL
Soda Pop (Great composition with focal point, the mixed bottles, the unlabeled cases, and the red table cloth; beautiful lighting):
tominboston
Drunk (Simply elegant, what more is there to say):
Esmeralda of the Lakes
the heavy weapons fighter (with a special nod, though perhaps a tiny bit under-saturated this definitely would've been the Ancient Mariner's choice for winner)
antidote3
Liquid Gold (for catching the chill so perfectly that it took us a while to realize this is one of the new aluminum bottles):

agroni
Thursty for Water (This shot looks exactly like some of the classic 1950s black and white postcards we bought in Italy last summer):
SECOND PLACE
LScottC
self-portrait in Paris (my wife thought this was straight out of National Geographic Traveler; and who wouldn't want to be across the table from this happy guy, with Notre Dame tucked into the background):
And THE WINNER
PhotoKahn
They can make you sick... (a 300D shot so tack-sharp and perfectly balanced it should have all those 1D owners wondering why they spent the extra cash, and remind the rest of us why there's no rush to upgrade):
Again, my thanks to all, and special congratulations to the Challenge 73 winners. It was a pleasure to host and an honor to judge. PhotoKhan, I pass the torch to you.
Cheers!
