Standing at the Ready

The idea of this is great, but it's out of focus and grainy so it loses all of its impact.

This looks more like the mad scientist instead of something at a coffee shop.

The size of this really henders your creativity. Make sure that the maximum of 640 pixels is utilized to maximize the impact of your image.

Beans

Not interesting at all. Kind of like dead roaches in a heap (sorry). An artfully created pyramid (sort of like when you stack up charcoal briquettes to barbeque) on a solid white surface with maybe a spoon and lots of negative space would make the beans more interesting.

Oven Fresh!

I would find this much more interesting if shot from the level of the table and the diner was behind you with empty chairs, or people eating. AS it is, it just looks like it was shot over grandma's plate in the kitchen. I'd like the plate to just be solid white as the floral desigh is a tad distracting. The focus is good. The composition really isn't that bad, but those aerial type shots just sort of leave me uninterested.

Brown sugar

This isn't that bad of a photo really, but just not very interesting. Granted, neither is the challenge, but Hmmmm - this just kind of leaves me a bit blah. The detail is good but sugar in a mug of capuccino just isn't much for eye candy in my book.

This just looks kind of like a dirty kitchen to me. I think the composition isn't very artful. Possibly have less props.

I think this could be more artfully done if there were more negative space and possibly higher contrast in black and white.

Snow White Disaster

Comment:
This is more an atrium with somebody looking like Snow White than a coffee shop to me. The idea is cute, but a bit too contrived for my taste. Visually, it's not that interesting. The focus is ok and the stop action is fine. Just sort of uninteresting. I'd like to see the figure sitting at a single bistro table maybe with fishnets and high heels, or something eye catching. Maybe a big hat and sunglasses with a cup of coffee as if she's waiting for somebody. Just a thought.

Sugar Packets

This has a very snap shot feel to me. Not very artful or creative. Sure, you'd see it in a coffee shop, but that's kind of where it stops for me.
