Candid shots come with their environment. In this case, the clutter conveys a sense of real life and strengthens the context for someone enjoying a cup of coffee during a moment of relaxation while mentally drifting elsewhere. The light and mood were certainly worth recording. Glad to see you in top 20, but I would have put this in the top 10.

Original, lovely, gallery-worthy. Oriental feeling even before seeing title. Branching cracks in glass perfect complement to twig branches. Got vote of 10 from me without hesitation.

Gesture, grain, blur work well against the stars and dark sky. Might be stronger without the branches in upper left corner.
