I was sitting in an open air cafe, saw the waiter and suddenly I remembered it could be a funny idea.
As you can see the portuguese beer galss (SuperBocK) is completly empty, while the netherlans beer glass (Grolsch) is full!!! ;))) This is the reason why the portuguese beer is considered one of the best and tastefull in the world. For me too... ;)

P.S. netherlands beer is good too.

I've never drunk SuperBock, but it must be tasty... But Grolsch is also good IMO, however not my foavourite one.

Nice shot. Well seen and well done!
Cheers :)

You forgat Heineken, and also the big Belgium beer sorts. They are favorite by myself. Wonderful composition, with a nice note, very nice cheers

Wow... GREAT PIC... Great sense of humor.. Congratulations.

En effet, la prise de vue est amusante. J'avoue ne pas avoir encore goûté la bière en provenance du Portugal.
La composition est réussie Carlos et particulièrement la transformation des couleurs.
Indeed, the catch of sight is amusing. J'avoue not not to have still tasted beer coming from Portugal. The composition is made a success of Carlos and particularly the transformation of the colors.

Nice shot:) I like the contrasts:)
Talking about beer, some say polish beer is the best tasting in the world:) hehehehe
-cheers

Grande foto, a superbock é a melhor cerveja do mundo. Bem tirado
Parabéns

carlos are you becoming chauvinistic or what.? lol;-) i think i have never tasted any portuguese beer in my life.. am feeling kind of thirsty now;-)) nice experiment...

Ah Carlos, you potrayed a Superbock glass here, my favourite Portuguese beer. Better then Sagres. And when I'm in Portugal it's better than Grolsch too, not that I have choice then ;-)) Excellent crisp & nicely composed pic, good job.

Fun capture, Carlos, with the beer glasses against the sky. The partial desaturation is well applied. Even though I'm German and only "other" beers are represented, I'm happily awarding two points on this original shot ;-))

Portuguese wine is pretty good too. Good use of a low viewpoint & the splash of color is nice.

Hummm, muito bom !!!
Ainda é cedo, mas confesso que a tua boa foto deu vontade de um copo desses !
Bela composição !
Parabéns !

Very creative idea dear Carlos! I guess if you were there with your friends there would be a few more empty beers on that table ;) A good angle you choosed too, almost like a TV publicity :)

very nice pic indeed, the lighting and also the glasses are very sharp, well done

Great idea and quite a funny one, Carlos! :-))
Fantastic composition and you succeeded to do it almost out of nothing. The sky as background works finely to the glasses to look even more outstanding. Excellent job!

And I would say Belgian beer is the best :-) That a nice framing. Good shot, Carlos!

Wonderful idea and composition Carlos - I like the reflections and light in the right glass very much - thanks for sharing this drink ;-)

Very funny !
At the first sight, I thought this pic was referring to the score of a football match.. ;-)
Very well done, it looks like a B&W pic, the only real color being the beer one..

An original one, with a perfect composition and an incredible transparency through the full glass.
A good idea and above all a really well done and kindly wink, Carlos, congratulations.

Well considering, idea is really good and rather funny, angle is well chooses, I remain a fan of Corsica beer has sweet chestnut.

A very funny wink which does to mask the very good realization. POV sharpness and partial desaturation. Very well spotted Carlos.

i think this is one of your best shots, very clever and great idea. i like the angle your captured the photo and the composition, excelent work Carlos. i'll try that beer on first occasion :)

just saw this one and have to compliment you on a great and well executed idea. I will definitely sample a few Super whenever i get a chance to visit Portugal.

As a Belgian I have, of course, a preference for our Belgian beers, but I have tasted your Superbock and have to admit it is not b ad at all.
Very nice shot with a superb angle.

I love this picture!!! Belgians always laugh with Dutch beer; it seems that the Portuguese do it too. I haven't tasted Portuguese beer yet, but up till now I still prefer the Belgian ones. ;-)).
The picture as such: colours and perspective are very good. Nice work

you could use this for an advertisement u know.. ingenious!

Ferreira,
uma belíssima foto. O contraste das cores foi bem conseguido.

it takes more than just imagination to do this one. Great Photo

Eheheheh! Bela ideia conterrâneo! Bibá Super! O resto é mijoka! Abraço! Belas fotos!

Okay Carlos, now your just making me thirsty!

Very smartly done photo! I have to say, I have never had the opportunity to try either of these beers- but at the moment- any beer would do! Haha

Well done! "Obrigado"

Great shot, but that's absolutely not the colour of Dutch beer ;-))) Regards, Huub

Carlos, sinceramente não sei se já comentei uma foto sua. E acho que se não o fiz, estou perdendo algo de bem interessante :)
sabe, umas semanas atrás colocaria essa foto na guerra dos moinhos!
excelente! pelo conteudo da nota e pelo conteudo do copo (já vazio) :)

Gracias por la critica

Excelente tu composición muy original. El detalle de una copa vacio y la otra llena está muy bonita.

Saludos

Carlos, don't tell it to a real Dutch!
Great shot, by the way!

...or someone had one SuperBock, just to decide that he made an error and that it's time to get back the good old Grolsch. By the way, this photo really makes me wonder what is under and around the table. Interesting.

  • Good

:) nice subject and story

Yyyarrrrrk A Grolsch!!!!! The worst beer ever!

Verry funny, but exceptional composition : glasses against the sky.A nice capture with amusing title.
Cheers...

man this really makes me thirsty for a good beer. Excellent picture. I like the predominant grayscale of everything - making the colored beer the centerpiece. excellent pov, thanks for sharing!

Alan

Ideia genial e posta em prática magnificamente.
Parabéns
