What are those specks? This is a good shot but the lighting is a bit harsh :( 5

like the brilliance of the container that reflects off the shine of the coffee beans :)

The speck in the bottom right corner is distracting, as is the obvious over-sharpening. The leading lines make for a strong composition. The odd shadows suggest that this was painted with light, which I think worked well. I wouldn't be surprised to see this in the top ten once the challenge ends. I think that a little more attention to detail could have made this a shoe-in for a ribbon.

Nice symmetry, gives those beans some interest apart from the tons of other shots with beans in them. Lighting is a bit harsh though for my taste as you have some overexposed glare on some of the beans and also a shame this is a basic editing rules challenge as the white stuff on the backround is a bit distracting but other than that, very cool and one of the best in the challenge, gave this a 7.

I like the simplicity. I guess basic editing kept you from cleaning up the black area.

Nice picture. Not too fond of the harsh light glow in the center like that but love the black, blue and brown tones. The lines on the bowl really add to the shape of the coffee beans.

A little overexposed in some areas, but interesting use of symmetry.

the beans have quite a bit of light reflecting off of them, washing out those lovely browns and blues...
