spoon of perks

Sweet. the colouring and border are great. That light coffee colour really works, especially where it is reflected in the handle and you held a fine DOF. The composition is a bit off , be interesting if you played around with some thirds options. I would suggest at least lowering the centre of the spoon to the horizontal thirds line. I'm goign to score it well, but there is probably another point in there yet.

Good and sharp (yay). I like the beans glow. I'm a bit unexcited by the composition although I can't suggest how to improve it without messing around with it

Cup of Goodness

I like the way you've worked your light to get the best dramatic effect. It's somewhat let down by the composition which results in a bit of a ho-hum image where it is potentially not ho-hum at all.

AKA "Organic Coffee"

Very very good. Simplistic, clean and interesting with the leaves from overhead. Tghe dappled light on the paintwork just balances it nicely. I know you can't do anything about the car's reflection, it's going to bug some people. If the image would look better without it (jury's still out), in a commercial shoot we would have a massive black cloth stretched onto a frame behind the camera amd that would ill the reflection.

Oh this is a superb submission for this challenge - the first I've seen so far that attempts to capture the subject. The title, the composition, the light, the awesome DOF, the intervention of the rail and its detail work and your post production colouring ... all are just remarkable. I'll stick my neck out and say Ribbon.

Simple idea that maybe got to busy. I like the humour and the quirkiness

In a coffe shop? Is this an out take from "Beverages"?

Tough shot. I really like the composition and effect of this but the depth of field is very very difficult to achieve unless you have a full commercial setup and very very small apertures at your disposal. Overall, I find the image appealing but technically is wanting

Good colours and subject but the composition is way too centred and the dark piece of the cloth just spoils it

Top Quality Café
by patrinus

Comment:
A lot of work went into this. Somehow it doesn't say 'quality' in the image. Perhaps it is that the contrast it quite flat or that the cup looks to have the leans. The composition positioning of the cup is correct but because it looks to be spilling out of frame rather han into it is maybe why it doesn't quite 'gel'
