Photographer’s Note
As always...this is a repost.
I decided to try a different approach for this photo, selected the glassa of beer with the lasso tool in photoshop. Selected inverse and converted to sepia.
Lowered lightness by -25.
I also made a little crop of some areas.
Hope you like the change!

A chilling beer at "Hansens Brauerei" in Flensburg, Germany.
To those who don't drink alchohol for their own personal reasons I am sorry, but this hot evening it was just what I wanted.
Song: Beer
Lyrics by: Cory Morrow
She called me late last night
To say she loved me so
It don’t matter anymore
See she never cared
And she never will
I do all I can
I guess I’ll just have to wait til then
If I get drunk
Well I’ll pass out on the floor baby
You won’t bother me no more
If you’re drinkin’
Well you know you’re my friend
And I say I think I’ll have myself a beer
I think I’ll have myself a beer
She called me late last night
To say she loved me so
I guess you changed your mind
Well I should’ve known
It wouldn’t be alright
Cause I can’t live without her
So I won’t even try
If I get drunk
Well I’ll pass out on the floor baby
You won’t bother me no more
If you’re drinkin’
Well you know you’re my friend
And I say I think I’ll have myself a beer
I think I’ll have myself a beer
Maybe someday I’ll think of what to say
Maybe next time I’ll remember what to do
She looks like heaven
Maybe this is hell
She said she’d do it all again
She promised not to tell
If I get drunk
Well I’ll pass out on the floor baby
You won’t bother me no more
She said it’s okay Cory
Cause you know we’ll be good friends
And I say I think I’ll have myself a beer
I think I’ll have myself a beer

I'm thirsty now! Initially I thought it was a bit noisy, but I've looked at the original & of course now I realise it's taken on a mobile phone, so that would explain the noise. I think this version improves over the original, the beer is more prominent against the background. Good PP work!

Hi Odd, interesting shot, I could just drink that beer now, it looks good. I like the simplicity of the composition and the slightly desaturated colours.
cheers/skol/nazdrowie/a votre sante !

Hei Oddi,
Nice work in PS. but I think that it could make even more contast if you chose B/W in sted of sepia.
This is a very nice photo, and the pub must be glad for the free publisity.... TFS.

I like beer...!!! Funny that it is a motif of something artistical so often. I think men have s special relationship with beer. Somehow we feel good when seeing it thats why we like pictures of it!
Well done, like your PP (PP is also what you do after the 5th beer) with PS!

Hey Odd Jarle
Good technical work in PS. I am usually not a big fan of the lasso tool but it worked really well bringing the beer out (excellent beer!). This was taken on a camera phote??Well done.
