de-sat not de-caf

The DoF is okay, but I suspect that the woodgrain in front of the cup wasn't the intended subject. Moving the point of optical focus to the intended subject would improve this image.

Fork

I imagine that dirty forks are present in coffee shops, but this still seems too uninteresting and off topic to capture my interest.

Berries and Cream

Comment:
Without the title I'd have never figured out what this was. Without the cup, it would have been difficult to even judge the scale of what I'm looking at. I find the odd off-white color cast somewhat distracting. This might have been a lot more interesting if you'd have pushed the saturation much higher than it was originally rather than rendering this in B&W.

A Day in the Life

Comment:
The freckles on the arm of the woman on the bottom left seem to contain the constellation Scorpio. I find this far more meaningful than any horoscope that I've ever read. I can't see anything wrong with this image, but there's also nothing about it that suggests that it wasn't taken by someone's grandmother with a point and shoot camera.

Coffee Barrista

Comment:
I'd like this a lot better if the barrista's eyes weren't covered by her hair. The overexposed metal in the bottom left and the milk jug along the bottom edge are somewhat distracting.

Winter Warmer

I'd like this better if it looked more like it was taken in a coffee shop than in a studio.

Coffee

I would like this a lot better if the image were larger and didn't look oversharpened. I appreciate your novel approach to the challenge; a flower who's petals contrasted more with the color of the beans (yellow, for example) might have had more of an impact.

I think that this would be more interesting if the girl looked more flirtatious and less tired. The POV is interesting.

Postcards to Peruse at While Waiting for Your Java

Comment:
This would feel more like your art than a picture of someone else's if there was a more human touch to it. A hand, a shadow, a reflection, or a touch of handwriting on the back of a postcard would have made this much more interesting.

The Regular

Harsher, less diffused light on the man's face and sharper focus would give this photo a big kick.
