That looks a little extra creamy to me. Are you sure there's coffee in there? Like the idea but I think its a little dark for my tastes... I mean the picture not the coffee. I take my coffee black.

'm assuming that the dark out of focus items in the background are coffee beans. IMHO they are a disraction and do not add to the shot. They either need to not be there or be more in focus and better lit...

Comment by Lafaminit:
I like this picture. Different lighting (removing the overpowering shadow) may have enhanced it more.

I like the black background, but the composition is lacking somewhat. Getting the upper right tool piece in clear focus may have helped.

Too dark. Needs some pizazz with your lighting.

I feel the cropping in this image is too tight. space around the tools would be effective, or perhaps the opposite, more extreme cropping, but just snipping cropping is rarely effective. Perhaps a little dark. The image also seems very weighted to the right side. There isnothing leading or contrasting the empty space on the left. If even one wrench was stretching over there a bit more it would help.

Nice perspective in this entry. The DOF applied to the coffee beans is also excellent. I'm not a fan of the shadow across the right third of the coffee in the mug. If the lighting was more even across the entire mug, I'd rate this higher.

Comment by Dave Gordon:
Nice composition, and great exposure on the grass. The bull needs more detail; he's gone almost completely black without texture or even features beyond the eyes.

What are all the white speckles on the bull? I find them distracting.
