I kinda dig this, but I think you'll end up being a bit too abstract for most voters.

Comment by Trinch:
These types of photos are the hardest for me to score and I find myself sitting back and just staring at it for a few minutes waiting for it to say something. In this case, the lower portion I find very pleasing, particularly the change in brightness as you go from the corners to the edge. The background, however, I am having a difficult time appreciating. The seemingly random presentations of colors and brightness levels don't harmonize with the lower portion. As far as the orbs, the two above the depression do play nicely with the bottom part, but the one on the right doesn't look like it belongs.

First Mug of Joe in the Morning

I'd have to give this a 4 or 5 myself...but then it really was early in the morning and it was the first mug of joe for the day and the processing was just "ok". Later in the day I was reprocessing this when I ran out of time as I was posting it (I live 6 time zones west of the east coast so the "day" ends at 6pm for DPC purposes). I was surprised by the dnmc...guess I needed to prop up a convicts number sign in front of me to satisfy all voters.

I am laughing at the DNMC, how many more mugs could you get in one photo, one face shot and a mug!

I must have missed this challenge somehow. This is beautiful! Perfect exposure, and I suspect you underexposed to keep from losing the highlights. Very nice work.

Not bad, focus seems a little off or maybe could do with a little sharpening
