to the last drop - the perfect mug of coffee by
marxusComment by JulietNN: Hi from the C Club,
You asked for an indepth review of your shot in a challenge.
This is a good shot, I see that you specifically asked about teh 1-2's votes and I will try to explain some of that for you.
The idea is an excellent one and the POV is good. Now down to the nitty gritty,
Your shot is pretty much out of focus. The rim is in focus in the left hand side, but that is it. The drip in focus would have worked better or the appliance that you where trying to shoot. A little bit more of the appliance would have helped too, even though everyone knows that it is a coffee machine.
The yellow behind the cup is distracting, now if you had moved that to center then it would have been more pleasing and not thrown the center off your shot, it would have looked more like a glow around your appliance.
there is not a lot that could have been done in post processing, your colours are good, textures are feeling right. As before focus is off so unsharp mask wouldn't have helped much. Get your self a tripod!!
