I had two pictures that worked really well, but this one is the one I like best. Just a lamp reflecting in my cup of coffee.

I must be different, I like the angle but do wish the edges of the cup were not cut off. Perfect reflection in the yummy black coffee!

The perspective throws me but interesting shot none the less

Not sure why you rotated the photo, would probably look better not rotated.

Nice work, like the abstract theme

what a clear and crisp reflection in that cup! i would be interested in seeing this cup photographed from a different angle, and with a different object reflected on the surface (instead of the light bulb)...
i also wonder how this photo would look in b&w, with its rich variations in grays.

Now this is interesting. It took some time to figure out that you had actually turned the picture on its side (or how most people see it). That one change made it unique from some other pictures I've come across. Nice twist, great reflection.

odd that you chose to turn this on it's side. i find the reflection itself extremely interesting and might have chosen to focus more on that as more of an abstract composition. the fact that you have decided to go a different angle and show more of the outside of the cup, i do like the fact that there is another item (even if it is a partial piece) to help the eye move around the pic and make the shot a bit more dynamic

not getting it

I think you should have cropped the thing on the left out. Or have it not be there in the first place. I like everything else.
