| Love your idea, but the composition went a little flat. Several separate areas of interest. Maybe zooming in on the coffee pot would simplify the photo and bring full focus to the star!! :) |

| Good idea for challenge. I think this shot is just a bit too cluttered. There are too many unimportant items in the picture. Maybe a more creative shot of just the cofee pot would have worked well. |

| I always think of my coffee when I think of beginnings. |

I think this could be improved by not using a flash (to eliminate the shadows and take away the "snapshot" feeling); moving the main subject off center; and cropping the distracting wall hanging out on the left side. The flash reflection on the carafe is very not good!
The concept was good.

| Very true. I think an off center composition would help this. The direct flash creates a slightly distracting shadow along the edge. |

| Interesting thought. The extra items certainly fill in the thought, but perhaps detract by drawing the eye away from the focal point? |

A little more artful arrangement of the items, and more interesting lighting would have improved this a lot. It looks like you just staggered into the kitchen and took a snapshot using the flash attached to the camera. (I think it's the worst invention in the history of photography)
Morning coffee was a good idea for the challenge. |

| I'm not saying you agree with me, but indoor photographs without some unique lighting or angle are boring. |

| coffee I agree with - but I think that the subject can be made more interesting than this!! have a look at the other coffee submissions. |

| Cute idea. But this photo is not very interesting - in subject (too cluttered - not enough focus on one subject) and lighting/composition. |

| Other elements in the photo are very distracting. Flash caused hotspot on coffee maker and pot (better to use natural or diffuse light). This is a good idea, but personally I would have filled a mug with coffee and taken a picture of that, perhaps with sugar cubes or cream or something on the side. |

| A good concept that fits the challenge well IMO, however, it seems very "snapshottish". Lighting could be better I think, and the setting is cluttered. I think maybe a different perspective, perhaps tighter in on just the subject (the coffee pot), removing the distracting elements would help immensely. |

| I like this image, the coffee cup on the right side should not be touching the edge of the frame. |

I'm a coffee fiend also. It's not morning without that first cuppa joe. I hope you don't mind if I offer some observations, some opinions.
I don't find the coffiee maker from this angle or view to be especially photogenic. And the things around it detract from it. I think the trivet might be the most photogenic thing in the picture, unless one starts taking abstracts of the coffeemaker. The controls with that lttle red light might, possibly be interesting... Or the bulbous white top and the cutout where the pot goes.
I am blessed by the fact that the flash on my camera always, without exception, and without equivocation completely ruins every shot. I turn it off. If there is not enough light I use a tripod. This shot would be improved considerably if natural light had been used.
I hope some of these ideas are helpful.

| No offense..only trying to give constructive critisism..but this appears to be nothing more than a snapshot of your kitchen counter...sorry. |

| :) Where would we be without our morning cup of joe? Good idea but maybe a bit too much clutter in the frame? |

| That is certainly an ugly coffee maker. |
