Conrgats winners!!
I would have chosen @jkramerbob as well! excellent NG image!!

However, best image in the thread in my opinion is yours @anotherscotsman - you should def get an honorable mention as well :D

Too kind and there are certainly better entries!

Congrats to the winners , and thanks for taking time to comment on each entry . The place in my pic has been around over 100 years , probably 50 in this location . It's my goto place for real coffee at a reasonable cost . Unfortunately ( or maybe fortunately) it's not around the corner , so when I make a caffeine run I usually end up getting 4 or 5 lbs. .

That's a lot of coffee unless you take the European approach to brew strength! I love drinking coffee but the aroma is something in a different league. I'd love a store like this near me.

Haven't seen it yet. I suggest that if we don't hear from @jkramerbob by 20:30 (UK) this evening then CmdrLaForge should set the next contest.

I had no time to properly reply yet. First off thanks for the great judging and taking the time to properly give some feedback on each and every picture. Also thanks for the second place which it looks like puts me in the spot now unfortunately. Shall I cook something up? I do have an idea.

Might also be worth making it a 10 day or 2 week contest, otherwise there may not be many entries.

Cheers :)

I second that. I need to figure out a date by when i will be able to review and reply if I start the new contest.

Sounds like a sensible plan to me - let's go with a 2-week competition this time.

It's done now for this week, but we tried that before and it did not work. There were almost no submissions during the second week. We'll see how it goes this time.

You're probably right but at least it gives the judge a bit of leeway over the festive season - also gives entrants a longer opportunity to assess any gifts they get this year!

Loved yours @needfx - I know the old centre of Istanbul pretty well, and I'm pretty sure I know that particular store. Great picture.

Actually, I thought that @CmdrLaForge's shot excellent, as well, - every reminiscent of those wonderful Christmas markets one finds in Austria or Germany.

And given both the subject matter, and the treatment of it, anyone who has visited, or worked in, such places cannot failed to have been impressed by @jkramerbob's superb treatment of this theme and topic.

MANY APOLOGIES!!! I had posted this photo and completely forgotten. A combination of the busy season, my age and the fact that liked almost everyone's photos better than mine. Thank-you and it won't happen again.
[doublepost=1483386668][/doublepost]Also, an excellent job by anotherscotsman who took the time to analyze and review each photo!
