would probably be more effective without the stair rails in the picture.

Like the contrast.

kind of makes me think about not drinking coffee..

This looks like it was taken in someone's home. Unless this person supplys a local coffee shop, buying even one of these bags is a strong indication that they have a problem.

On a technical note, this seems to have been taken using a flash, which has thoroughly overexposed the banisters, walls and stairs. The composition isn't interesting, and if not for the word "coffee" printed on one of the sacks it wouldn't even seem relevant to the challenge (and even at that, this doesn't seem to involve a coffee shop). Assuming that at least one of these bags contains coffee beans, a much more interesting image could have been produced by impressing the viewer with the sheer quantity of beans (a surface covered with coffee beans interrupted by a hand reaching out from underneath with a full cup, a broken piggy bank with beans spilling out, etc.).

just seems booring, staircase highlights don't help, needs something to draw me in.

just a bunch of bags, sorry - doesn't do anything for me

This comes out well, but the hostpot from the stair stringer is very distracting...never be afraid to crop. :)

Nice to see something original, just wonder if the stairs aren't too blown out.

Nice shot, really like the bags of beans, sharp, good composition. The stairs appear a little over exposed enough take away from the over all image.......meets the challenge.....5

nice collection of bean bags! : )
i would be interested in seeing how this image would look with less brightness in the upper right part of the picture. imo, the staircase white appears to get blown out, which detracts from the nice, soft tones of the rest of the picture.

Interesting picture. Like the theme here but the staircase is washed out.

I am sure I am not the only one who will mention this - but the hot spot on the stairs is overwhelming. A tighter crop would have minimized this and produced a much better picture.
