Not much to say. Just a picture of my morning cup of coffee.

nice composition.....I like the cups placed together......coffee or even the sight of it arouses my senses.

Van Gogh's a starry night... one of my favourites! This is a nice creative shot, good composition and set up.

Consider how lighting could have added to this shot?

Poor Van Gogh turning in his grave at the sight of such a thing. ;-)

Not uninteresting. I enjoy the offset symmetry of shapes in this shot. A nearly balanced composition, if it weren't for a slight vertical tilt to the left, which is emphasied by either or both lens distortion and form of the coffee maker. The crop. too, is quite tight, particularly top left.

There seems to be some loss of detail in favour of some noise in the darker areas of the image. I am speculating that the ISO was above 200, instead of 100 or less, which would require the use of a tripod under darker conditions.

I like the full frame composition and the positioning of the cup handles. The cups themselves don't really work for me - the designs are so at odds with the elegance of the Krups coffee machine - it's a bit jarring. Then again maybe that's what you were aiming for. I'd like to see something similar with more elegant and modern cups, perhaps glass, metal or such.

The smell-o-machine :)
The two cups form a perfect landscape...
There is symmetry but the picture is not symmetric.. don't be bothered that there is some switches at the top-left of the picture.. try to show more in the right side.. so that the cups are perfectly in the middle..

Too constructed and not enough about the aroma. Bit too dark in the shadows and the exposure too long for the power on light.

Cool way of showing an image. I like the double cups forming a whole image.. (7)
