No attention (for the camera)

Comment by thompp1:
The almost recognizable objects distract, but the character of the subject brings it off. If only she could have paid some attention to the camera!

Comment by ShutterPug:
my only suggestion would be to crop some off the top - just to where the brighter reflection begins

Cups are fun, these are very pretty ones. Cups filled with strong coffee, cream, & honey are my favorite! I'm looking forward to this!

Hey how did you get some of my rose petals to add to this shot. Just joking, as I have just finished a rose side challenge, and the petals just look like they are the same as my petals.

A very pleasing composition, and I love the handles on these cups.

Comment by icu1965:
I really like this. I like the subtle reflection of the cups in the window. This looks like something I would paint, cups are one of my favorite subjects to paint.:)
edit for spelling

Comment by tcc:
I'm on thin ice here, but I would say that this has too much of a snapshot to really work as a portrait. Technically it is quite good (apart from the background), but I would have wanted eye contact with the model. Given that, this could have been really good.
A portrait without eye contact would only work, I think, if it was part of the story told. A picture of someone following some action that I am not aware of or "part of" ends up a snapshot. (I've got a whole bunch of them myself, and none of them is any good...)

Comment by Blackbox:
It's a clever photo and title and not a bad photo by any means. I think a more interesting shot would have been to focus more on that big boat and forget about the bird. But, that's just me.

Stupid gull :) I think i would like to see a little more contrast in the shot, but maybe it's the multiple shades of blue that makes me a little "uncomfortable".

Hum. I wonder what she is looking at, thinking about... certainly not the camera.
