My favorite in this challege. Very intersting compositing and crop. It captures one's attention.

I'm imagining this photo if the focus were inverted and the cup was the spotlight with your wife blurred a bit in the background. I think her pose and expression would serve it well, it's a wonderful picture. I like the way the photo is cropped but think seeing her hand more on the cup would have topped it off *grrr*.

this is by far the best photo of the challenge - I'm sorry the masses don't know that

drop by my house and pick up the blue ribbon I'm making for you - excellent framing, great work!

Comment by ubique:
Congratulations, Chris. What I like best (other than Kapan) is the crop ... there's something very intimate & 'coffeshop-esque' about the fact that both the model and the cup are cropped a bit. It makes them sort of squeezed in, as happens in most coffee shops. Can't believe people wanted the cup in focus; perhaps they thought it was an accident, or that you don't know how to work your camera?
