I see no link to this challenge. It's a nice shot though.

Photograph a portrait that says something about the subject within the framework of their own environment.

Comment by ewillison:
My photo had several issues to contend with. First, I didn't brew enough coffee to get the pour to flow properly through the nozzle. So I added water... Bad choice, I should have brewed more coffee, instead the coffee looked more like tea. Secondly, my six foot wide white paper blind looks like a postage stamp on the nozzle. Oh if I could have used "advanced" photoshop technics to blend it away. I went with a blue background because my original thought was to make a black and white image. However, the coffee wasn't dark enough to stand out in B&W. So. in the end, I rather liked the red handle, so I went with color. Yes, its slightly over sharpened... I like that effect on metal. However, notice that it doesn't effect the color channels only the luminance. Can you guess how I did that? Oh well, I'm happy with my placing. TTFN

I like the background colour choice, the picture overall. My only nitpick would be to make the colour of the coffee darker, more appealing.
