All three shots that ribboned in this challenge have this same quality of complementary-yet-opposed subjects. Less complicated image that the others, without the same level of message (how odd to be writing this on dpc...), but nevertheless contains that slightly odd sensation of thinking 'well, they're obviously opposite, but they obviously go together ...'

Thank you all, for the voting and the encouraging comments on my image. It is truly an inspiration to earn a ribbon. I didn't believe it would make it so high, partly because the two cups aren't identical, and the "white" cup aren't really white, but more yellow, causing it to become a bit gray in the final image.

Regarding the lighting, I used two lamps as light sources to eliminate as much as possible of the shadows, but there were still some shadows from the black sugar cubes and the black spoon. Maybe I could have eliminated them all using a third light source?

Anyway, thanks again :-)

wonder if closing the gap a bit would've helped. Still a great shot.

Very interesting shot. Easy to look at, yet complex.
