LIGHT ENJOYMENT

nice soft b&w tones. like the effect of the light through the blinds. the coffee cup seems to disappear against the blinds, imo. i would be interested in seeing this image with a cup or mug that has stronger visual impact that can hold its own against those blinds.

i like the coffee sign amd the chocolate o'hara sign. i would be interested in seeing how these elements could be featured more prominently in the picture...by picking one sign to focus on, showing a tighter shot of the crowd, interesting angle for the shot, etc.

and a Slice of Cake please!

mmm...cake...
i would be interested in seeing how this image would look with softer spot lighting, to emphasize all the lovely colors and detail in the cake.

such a pretty pose, and such warm colors. i do not know if it was intentional, but the photo appears to be out of focus (don't know if it's a blur effect...). i feel that the blur detracts from the photo.

i like the composition of this shot! i wish i could see the newsprint on the tables more clearly...
i would also be interested in seeing how this image would look with someone sitting at the table, smoking and reading the table top....

Caffeine Nightmare

cool concept for a photo! i've felt like that many a time...
the image inside of the french press feels rough and two-dimensional in comparison to the rest of the photograph...i would be interested in seeing how this image would look with softer edges around the squishy guy, but i'm not sure how to approach that within the basic editing rules.

i like the idea for this photo! i would be interested in seeing how this image would look with a deeper (more visible) shadow tone and a less-bright background.

Roasted to Perfection

nice close up of the bean. i would be interested to see how this image would look with richer, deeper brown tones and softer lighting...or, how this image would look with its current lighting but converted to b&w for all the detail and contrast to pop out.

Coffee & Sugar
by EllieNeufer

Comment:
like the idea with the writing in coffee grounds, and the sugar bowl.
really bright white, feels overexposed or overly-brightened. The extreme whiteness and glare off of the sugar bowl detracts from the photo. i would be interested in seeing how this image would look converted to a b&w with all the contrast, or how it would look with softer lighting.

Bulk Beans

nice collection of bean bags! : )
i would be interested in seeing how this image would look with less brightness in the upper right part of the picture. imo, the staircase white appears to get blown out, which detracts from the nice, soft tones of the rest of the picture.
