My favourite in the contest! I love the water, it looks like it is overpowering the land, and the city looks so tiny in the background. I hope this scores high!

This grabgbedt my eye immediately. The movement of the waves on the jetty along with the cool color pallette is really quite eye catching. The city off in the distance (great use of rule of thirds too) helps give the eye a place to rest. The stop action of the crashing water on the rocks really is well done and the focus couldn't be more crisp. 9

Simple and effective composition, nice choice of background for the beans. I like the shallow depth of field but for me the softness of the leading edge of the subject bean is a tiny problem. I can almost smell the beans....

Very nice photo, I didn't have a comment on the actual photo, but the title...I personally think "coffee" would do just fine, allows for the viewer to fully appreciate the interpretation without being blatant. :)
