I'm guessing you will be getting alot of comments saying that this shot doesn't fit the challenge. Who cares, I love this photo. I'd like it framed in my kitchen. The rusty (?) ground or counter-top (whatever it is) is a great contrast to the minimal DOF.

If I were given this photo and asked to guess the topic it would probably take me several tries to guess beverage. I wonder how this would look with the bean in the lower right cropped out even more? For me, this would keep my focus on your main subject, and lessen the distraction.

Man, I really thought the bubbles in the eyes would get a better reaction! ... I'm pretty sure no one will ever read this so here goes ... this photo rules!: focus, bokeh, blur, illusion, beauty, a captured moment, detail, fit the challenge ... Thanks for the 6-10 scores .. those were correct ... especially the 10's!!!!

Good idea, pushes the boundaries of the challenge. Thinking outside the square.

Nice photo, I like blown out bright high key shots but this one just errs on the "too much" side.

I think a dark background would have worked better here
