An excellent photo. Well lit, well conceived and well executed.

WHY! OH WHY IS THIS PHOTO SO LOW!!!!

this is absoloutly fit for a coffe shop.... look at the tones, all the way from light brown frappichino, to dark brown/black COFFEE.

it flusters my why this shot hasnt been inserted into the top 50 at least rather than almost dead last...

i love the perspective, i love the tones, i love the focus... this is an outraegeously good photo!

Lol, just shows what people think and what is the truth can be opposite.

oh man this just screams coffee shop to me!

What does this have to do with coffee houses?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/11/2005 10:45:27 PM
great pic, but coffee?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/11/2005 05:53:21 PM
What about the coffee...? Good picture though :)

Don't see the relationship

Nice photo of a baseball, but sorry, I don't see the connection between this photo and the challenge topic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/10/2005 02:27:13 PM
Baseball...coffee shop? I am blonde, maybe that's why I don't see the connection.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good use of light, nice picture of baseball. Does not neet challenge as far as I can figure..... 4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/10/2005 07:24:32 AM
I don't like the way the shaded part of the ball and the background blend, there is too little definition of that part of the ball
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/10/2005 04:25:01 AM
Great shot, sure wish it were in another challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/10/2005 01:24:03 AM
why would you enter this in the coffee shop challenge?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/09/2005 05:07:43 PM
While I think this is a great, great photo, I have trouble seeing the theme connection. Take a picture for the theme and I'm sure you'll ribbon....You've got the talent obviously....3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/09/2005 01:41:38 PM
Sorry, I don't see the relevance to the challenge theme. Overall, it's a decent shot of a baseball.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/09/2005 05:35:56 AM
Where´s the beef, I mean coffee? Quality of photo indicates strongly that you´re off for the brown!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/09/2005 05:13:20 AM
This is an awesome photo. I really like the lighting. Too bad it doesn't have to do with a coffee shop. This deserves a high score, but doesn't meet challenge. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/09/2005 03:53:38 AM
This is a good studio shot of a used baseball, but I can't imagine how this even remotely relates to the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/08/2005 10:32:31 PM
While this is a nice shot of a baseball, and even though I rarely go into coffee shops, I'm not sure this would be found in one. Kind of scratching my head on your choice of entries - hence my low score. Sorry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/08/2005 05:33:42 PM
really confused as to how this fits the challenge
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/08/2005 01:11:32 PM
Wrong challenge? A shame cause this shot is well lit, makes an boring baseball a bit interesting and makes me wonder about the history behind the ball but sorry, I don´t get how this ties in with "coffee shop" at all so I only gave it a 2, would probably have given this a 7 if it fitted the challenge IMHO.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/08/2005 12:25:14 PM
Not being american i find it a stretch to see the connection to coffee ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/08/2005 08:53:37 AM
That's the most brilliant photo I've ever seen of a baseball. I just wished it brought to mind coffee shops. I'll try again ... oh, maybe some specialist baseball themed coffee shop, but it doesn't quite fit this challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/07/2005 09:46:40 PM
Great photo, I really like the lighting...

This image does not meet the challenge. A good image but sorry. 3

10/07/2005 07:33:00 PM
was this in a coffee shop?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/07/2005 05:29:16 PM
Where is the coffee?? Just curious.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/07/2005 05:21:47 PM
coffee shop?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/07/2005 11:45:40 AM
Great shot of a baseball. Unfortunately for me, I can't for the life of me, find the connection with "Coffee Shop"...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/07/2005 09:38:15 AM
Through the window perhaps? Very nice photo though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/07/2005 07:43:11 AM
Don't see where this meets the challenge. Although it may have been shot in a coffee shop, it's not something you'd usually see in one.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/07/2005 06:39:57 AM
I found one of these in a cup of coffee once, it completely ruined it for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/07/2005 01:46:04 AM
Coffee????? I like the photo though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 11:20:50 PM
Don't take this the wrong way, but what the hell does this have to do with a coffee shop?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 08:59:16 PM
Wow, simply beautiful. Great lighting and shadows, wonderful detail on the stitching and leather. But WTF? Coffee shop?? Who cares. 7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 07:54:03 PM
Must be a baseball in a coffee shop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 07:31:08 PM
and this fits in the challenge how?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 07:30:11 PM
Beautiful shot of baseball, where's the coffee ?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 06:55:49 PM
i've failed at making the connection here with a coffee shop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 03:41:08 PM
How does this photo meet the challenge? It doesn't!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 02:32:53 PM
Not sure how this meets the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 02:25:58 PM
This is a very nice photo, but I don't see how this relates to a coffee shop - if I'm missing the point please pm me 2
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 12:38:59 PM
Coffee Shop? I don't see the connection, sorry. Great shot of a baseball, tho.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 11:07:10 AM
Very well done shot, with great lighting and focus....but, I'm just not getting the coffee shop connection
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 01:14:01 AM
well...not sure where the coffee shop went, but I'll give you a 10 b/c it is a good picture...

Maybe the baseball went threw the window of the coffee shop and rolled into the corner...yeah, thats it...10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2005 12:42:13 AM
Okay this is a beautiful shot of a baseball....but I'm even streaching to see if you'd find this in a coffee shop...eh what the hell it's the pennant races....7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 11:08:09 PM
It's a great picture of a baseball, but it totally disregards the demand of the challenge ("coffee shop"). I'm being generous only because it really is an excellent photograph.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 09:59:01 PM
Interesting picture. Nice use of space and shadow but I don't see how this relates to the coffee shop theme.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 09:20:00 PM
A nice picture of a baseball, but is it in a coffee shop?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 09:01:46 PM
I see coffee?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 06:18:51 PM
i am going to assume you entered the wrong photo into this competition...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 03:57:43 PM
This is a GREAT photo of a baseball...but what does it have to do with a coffee shop? Did it fly thru the window while you were there? ;^) Just curious...I'm sure you must have some connection, but really, I don't get it. Good luck in the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 02:33:14 PM
Strange as it may seem, but I have not come across one of these in a coffee shop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 12:44:14 PM
Coffee Shop come now this has nothing to do with the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 12:39:48 PM
ehm... coffee? not baseball :P
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 12:00:52 PM
Hmm.. I love baseball, but I don't really see this relating to a coffee shop!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 11:39:42 AM
must be missing something here - but good shadow
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 10:30:36 AM
Wow this is an excellent photo - but coffee shop??? Hmmmmmmm
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 10:05:34 AM
Great picture of a baseball. Great lighting effect. Coffee shop?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wrong Challenge?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 06:47:04 AM
I don't even see what this remotely have to do with the subject of coffeeshop unless it went through the window of one as it was thrown
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 06:10:13 AM
I know I'm not always in tune with the thinking of some entries, but I really am struggling to find the coffee shop link here. Great photo though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 02:07:18 AM
this is like putting a face in a foot challenge. i like it, and for that you have my only 10 so far.

if this wasnt rediculous itd get a 6. nicely lit but just boring.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 01:31:48 AM
What does this have to do with coffee?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 01:28:28 AM
Well... that's a great photo of a baseball anyway.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 01:26:09 AM
what??? I have no idea how this even closely relates to the topic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2005 01:09:02 AM
