I like everything about this photo. I like the lighting, I like the shadows, I like the color, I like the grain on the table, I like the amount of coffee in the cup, I like the fact that I can read the text....

A different color mug & possible a table cloth would help make this more interesting by adding a variety of colors.

Very sharp and great detail. Focus, crop, and DOF, are all great. Technically a 10.

The entire picture seems to have a reddish cast though, like you applied a touch of sepia or something. I don't think it adds anything to this picture, because everything else about it (sharpness and focus) indicates newness and clarity. Leave the pages of the book white and we're in business here.

The scene also lacks action though, I wish there was some steam rising from the cup, some opened creamers strewn around the table, or an ash tray with a half-dozen smoked butts or something to give this scene a little more LIFE.

Over all though, a good effort, and better than average.

It made me stop & think how often drinking coffee & reading take place simultaneously! Excellent!

good idea-I wonder what it would have looked like in black and white?

Basically a nice photo, however, the shadows under the subject's left hand are somewhat distracting to me, IMHO. Better use of lighting would improve this photo.

This is a stunning image in my opinion. The clarity of the colours, the depth of focus and the story that it tells. I could taste the coffee and totally relate to the experience. Looking at the tones of the wood, the skin and the book. All complementary. Magic. Thanks for taking the effort.
