waiter
by mreza

Comment:
nice idea for your submission. when i look at this picture, it looks like some person reading a paper more than a waiter, imo. i like the angle of the shot, and the color treatment works with it. i would be interested in seeing a closer shot of the person in the shadow with the table. the guy standing in shadow with the white paper really pops out, and focusing in on him without all the empty tables could be interesting...

Oven Fresh!

Comment:
i like the overhead angle of the shot, and the composition of pastries and coffee. i would be interested in seeing how this composition would have looked on a different colored plate/background. imo, the white on white on white gets a bit bright in the upper left section, which detracts from the photo.

if i didn't have these guys, my finger pads would have burnt off long ago! : )
you're the only one photoing this item, so congrats for the creativity! i would be interested in seeing how this image would look with richer color tones, or perhaps a monochromatic interpretation for more visual interest.

Black & White

cool idea, with the pepper echoing the pattern on the countertop. i would be interested in seeing this image with just a bit more space on top, and with softer lighting/richer contrast.

Caramel Macchiatto, please

there's so much going on with a steamer cup, frothing the milk and all that...
i would be interested in seeing this picture taken from other angles that better demonstrate the energy and activity going on there. perhaps one angle could be an tight overview shot with all that frothy milk billowing up...

Urban exposure

Comment:
i like how the image is divided into threes by the window. i like the corrugated metal in the left side of the image. the noise/reflection in the glass detracts somewhat from the image when left in color. i would be interested in seeing how this image would look when converted to b&w.

Hot cup o'Java

Comment:
it's cool how the cup appears to be floating against the background. the background is really bright, though. i would be interested in seeing how this same image would look with a richer background color.

Beans for the Press
by dsherwin

Comment:
i really like the composition of this photo, with the beans spilling out of the bag and the press right there. it makes me want to stick my nose in there and inhale the lovely scent of coffee. i also like the warm tone of the picture. i would be interested in seeing how this photo would look with greater definition between the background and the handle of the press. The handle appears to merge into the background, which appears to merge into the countertop below the handle. this detracts from the picture, imo. having greater definition in that part of the photo would make the image pop more for me.

Starbucks... After Hours
by LeeD

Comment:
how fun! a groovy still-life (i always suspected something like that was going on after-hours...) : )

there's something about the bean person making the sugar angel that isn't coming through as well as the rest of the picture for me. i think it may be because the snowman maker is rich and glossy looking, and the one lying down looks duller in comparison? i adore this composition, and think it would make a great holiday card for someone's local coffee house!
