I wanted to do the smoke shot for long time. As soon as this challenge was announced, I had this in my mind. I am quite happy with the shot.

What I liked about this was the lighting on the beans. I love how you were able to catch so much detail there. And the smoke was pretty cool too. :) Congrats on the top 10!

A lovely stock image. The lighting seems a touch cool for such rich, brown tones.

Beautiful photography. Looks like it could be an ad for a magazine. 9

Technically a great pic, but the perspective of the camera is above the table and not on the table/table top level. I would have given a higher score if the POV was table top instead of from above...

very professional. It looks like an ad. However, I hope you won't be disaapointed with an 8.

It doesn't appear to meet the challenge.

There are two ways of looking at this image - one, it's not strictly on the table. Alternatively, there is nothing in the challenge specifications that says the camera can't be on an object that is on the table. Taking the later into account, this is a simple and very effective construction and composition. Good color and detail, there is one minor issue with the light fade on the left lower corner which isn't immediately noticable. From an artistic standpoint, it's conveys the sense of pleasure and texture in a nice pleasing image. Well done.

A very clear clean shot, the camera appears to high for a table shot...

This is a PERFECT ad for coffee. I will definitely give 10 in any other challenge.
although the camera is clearly not resting on the table, so should be DNMC in this challenge

Nice photo - I can smell the coffee from here.

great stock photo. (for this challenge the camera should be placed on the table to give a perspective not normally viewed - so only a 6 instead of an 8)
