This reminds me of photos in a childrens bible. Beautiful tones and colors. This is so well done.

I like the balanced light areas with the surrounding blackness. The coffee cup is a little indistinct - I think seeing it in a larger format would help, but we just have 640. I like it.

I like how the neg. space stands mostly between your two objects, adding a sense of mystery as well as some kind of 'connection' between them. Nice lighting. 9

Good picture, the coffee cup comes out nicely and the table also, but i think the light is not defined enough, it just washes into one white blob. - 7

9. Subtle. Elegant. Printable. Marketable. Excellent job. Interesting negative space.

Oooh, like this idea. I really, really like the toning and shading on the coffee cup - so much in fact that I'd have seriously considered cropping just below the light. If cloning were allowed, I'd just nuke the light and keep the framing the way it is. As such, minimizing the chromatic aberration on the light by desaturating the blue and magenta channels would have been something I'd have considered. Still, excellent.
