Coffee beans on a bowl with a glass cup.
I had this picture on my mind since the minute I read the challenge.
took some shots with slower shutter speed but I really like the dark look on this one. No editing. Light provided by white lamp. White balance set on "cloudy" gave the warm color to it.

Thank you for all your helpful comments.
I'm definitely calibrating my monitor before posting the picture for next challenge!

This may be better if there was a bit more light...

I like this shot a lot. There's a very quiet, somber mood because of the darkness. It might be a little too dark, however, maybe just a tad lighter.

I love the lighting I just wish I could make out the cup a little better. Nice warming effect.

way, way too dark. I realize there is a mood element here but a liitle more light would be nice

I get the "feel" you were going for, but it's just too dark.

very moody and somehow emotive. I get all sorts of images in my head when I look at this...like where it is and what's happening in the next room. Very cool, well done! 10

A little too dark for me.

very nice... i like the darkness.. it adds to the drama of the photo. the mark on the upper right of the bowl is distracting ... overall nice job though! 7

This feels a little too dark to me... maybe not, I'd have to compare to be sure. It's a nice image, I can practically smell the coffee just looking at it -- effective.

cool composition! I would have liked to see some spot lighting in the bin to bring out the cup...it gets lost in the darkness of the bin.

kind of dark on my monitor, too bad, I really like it - wish there was more detail in the beans- more light.
