ghost photographer... nice shot, but would have been nicer if highlights hadn't been blown outside (maybe shot could have been taken at a time when outside was not so bright)

Glad to see you got out of the reflection! Extra points just for thinking! :-)

I love the setting. Can I come over for a cup? 9.

nice image, I like the reflection in the coffee pot, but the harsh backlighting at top center is a dominating distraction, maybe some fill flash and shooting from a higher angle would have worked better

Initial reaction: This is a nice photo of a calm and happy scene.

Technically, the exposure is right for the forground subjects, but as a result blows out the highlights outside the window. This normally wouldn't be a problem, except that the top bit of the glass is also blown out, which for me, detracts a lot from the subject. The reflection of the camera in the pot is a lot less than I expected it would be when I first looked at this picture, but is still a lot more than would be preferred. Also, the straw/stirrer in the coffee cup should either be removed altogether or included entirely. Cropped as it is, it leads the eye too far out of the frame and leaves me searching for the "rest of it."

Focus and DOF, sharpness, color and crop are great... just wish you had filtered down that outdoor light a little bit! :)

Good job on a plesant photo.

Nice use of color, texture - good juxtaposition of the indoors & the outdoors

Nice idea. Items a bit too crowded together and strong backlighting creates many shadows. I wonder what this would have looked light shot from a higher angle.

Mmm....Looks inviting. Love the reflection in the kettle but the washed area above it is really distracting. The top of the glass is almost completely lost. Nice composition and use of space.

The background is overexposed and distracting (you probably realize this).

nice composition, and groovy coffee service! i would be interested in seeing this photo with lighting from a different direction, and with a background that does not detract from the still life.

A bit to hot...not the coffee. The highlights a sort of washed out. Nice setting though.

tough shot with that backlighting - you did a nice job. maybe use a bounce card to fill in those shadows a little and bring more detail to the foreground? nice photo
