Great composition but shame light rather flat and focus a bit off

Comment by KarenNfld:
Looks out of focus, would be better if the dividing line between land and sky were not so centered.

Comment by FranziskaLang:
This shot has a lot of potential, but a couple of things keep it from achieving it (IMO). Those are mainly that it doesn't look 100% focused to me (or, if you didn't apply this, use unsharp mask after resizing, that may have been all it takes), and there's too much sky that is not adding to the image since it's a pretty even color. Maybe crop some of it? I do like the placement of the house in the image, and the hilly landscape with the lines of trees are very interesting, too.

Comment by Konador:
To me, the colours here seem very flat, so I would have boosted the contrast a lot and/or used levels to darken it. I think it also needs USM at a small radius, maybe 120/0.4/0 as the settings?

Thanks for the comments everyone, it was great to get a score over 6.

Yup, the bubble was distracting, I experimented with diferent crops but it either meant showing more of the cup which wasn't ideal or keeping the bottom edge of the current crop and lowering the top of the crop resulting in a squarerpicture which I just didn't like.

As for the colour, it is coffee but not being a coffee drinker I only had instant coffee which was a bit murky without milk but very reflective, the milk meant there weren't so many reflections.

Awesome. The coffee reminds me of a croc flying up from the water to snap around its prey. Beautifully captured.

Action and coffee don't usually end up in the same sentance, well, till after the first cup! Great capture! especially since I love sugar with my coffee!

Comment by tonyv:
The coffe seems to be the wrong colour. Maybe fractionally over-exposed - some f the detail on the sugar-cube is missing.
