I'm keenly aware of the shortcomings of this photo but as I haven't done a challenge in months, I felt like entering. Last minute entry on a shot that I really could have used some studio lights for. Oh well, coffee lovers will get it at least.

I really thought this one would be in the top 3!!! This is a great powerful shot that is really under rated.

I am not sure about this movie and the connection, but I will give it the benefit of the doubt. This is one of the best product type shots I have seen. I can smell them! Great job. 10.

Very nice image, love the out of focus surroundings and defining lighting.9

Excellent picture, but I don't understand the link to the title. A great b&w. 10 and adding to favourites.

Interesting take on the title. It might have scored higher if I like coffee more... just kidding. 8

Great lighting, nice tones. I love the way you've managed to capture the texture of the coffee beans. I don't know about the unequal cropping of the hands, but maybe it looks better this way anyhow.

Hmm. I sense a future partnership between you and Starbucks. Great shot. Shallow DOF works beautifully.

nice photo, nice effect but what's the connection?

Tight crop - I'd like to see the whole of both hands. The title is true with the photo (regarding coffee)

Great shot. I like the sepia tone.

Nice and simple, great picture, I hope it will finish in the top 10. (10)

I really like this one because it's not a literal interpretation of the film itself, but fits the title perfectly, regardless. Which, to me, is the point of the competition. You can't get any better than coffee.

As a coffee lover, I love this shot. Great sharpness of the beans and love the tone you chose.
