Good use of ROTs. The BW is good. It could use a bit of level bumping to create more drama. Good improvement over your previous entries :) Keep it up.

Great composition and timing. Was this staged? The extra leaves on the upper side is a bit distracting. The color contrast of the red/orange and blue is absolutely great. It could be a tad sharper though.

I didn't know that Joey Lawrence operated a coffee shop. I can't say that this looks like someplace where I'd purchase something to consume, but it's a striking photo. The film grain and dirt contribute nicely to the grunge effect, but I think that higher contrast might have given this enough of a kick to push it into ribbon territory. I find both the gold ring and the lipstick on the cup intriguing elements, and I think that either removing them or emphasizing them a bit more could make this interesting image that much better.

I would have liked this shot a whole lot better if the hand and cup were in the same focus as the coins, just having them slightly out of focus like that makes me want to squint my eyes just to see them better and it irritates me. Having said that though I like everything else about the shot, the lighting, the composition, the "feel" and colouration and gave this a 7.

There's something to this image but I can't really figure it out. Could be the grain or just that it isn't very polished...
