I wanted to show each day as a new beginning and that my strength to face whatever challenges the day will bring comes from God, but I also like to have that morning coffee. Lighting and focus were a problem for me. I used in camera flash, and but as I took repeated shots, my words kept getting out of focus. I was using auto focus because I've had so many comments on previous challenges about lack of focus. Would appreciate advice.

You didn't need the glasses or the booklet there - they are distracting.
Then, you'd just have 3 elements to concentrate on. Having a more thick/continuous coffe flow and a mug half full would make a better impact.

Technically very clever. And a good idea which gives pause for thought.

5+2: Generally an OK image with a good capture on the coffee flowing into the cup. All props in an image are taken into account with voters so I'd suggest staying away from controversial topics like religion if possible - a crossword in a newspaper would have been a better prop to use. I'll add on 2 points to compensate for some of those that will mark down for the bible being used.
