My photo had several issues to contend with. First, I didn't brew enough coffee to get the pour to flow properly through the nozzle. So I added water... Bad choice, I should have brewed more coffee, instead the coffee looked more like tea. Secondly, my six foot wide white paper blind looks like a postage stamp on the nozzle. Oh if I could have used "advanced" photoshop technics to blend it away. I went with a blue background because my original thought was to make a black and white image. However, the coffee wasn't dark enough to stand out in B&W. So. in the end, I rather liked the red handle, so I went with color. Yes, its slightly over sharpened... I like that effect on metal. However, notice that it doesn't effect the color channels only the luminance. Can you guess how I did that? Oh well, I'm happy with my placing. TTFN

I like the background colour choice, the picture overall. My only nitpick would be to make the colour of the coffee darker, more appealing.

I think this would have been stronger without the background object. Also seems slightly oversharpened.

I don't quite like the background...

Love the chrome reflection thru the coffee

Reminds me of the undrinkable Jersey coffe I once had. Think there is some misunderstanding in the brewing over there. One teaspoon coffe pr. 10 cups
:-)
Good picture.
