Challenge: Coffee Shop (Basic Editing III)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM
Location: Apartment
Date: Oct 4, 2005
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 1/80
Galleries: Humorous, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Oct 4, 2005

 Desaturated, cropped, adjusted levels, and deliberately over-sharpened a bit to give it an edge. I also used ISO 1600, though that was happy (I think) coincidence. I like it grainy, since it seems appropriate for the subject.

Originally I planned on getting a shot of me holding the cup and shaking, but I liked this better. Incidentally, that really is Peet's coffee. Good stuff.

Now if you could just have conveyed a trembling arm! Would like to see a little more tonal range.

Nice work! Good lighting and textures, I especially like the sparkle on the spilt coffee on the leatherette? The only glitch is what looks like some "digital jaggies" on the thumb and around the rim of the mug. Still an 8 though ;)

hiiii, peet! : )
this is an interesting composition, with the spill and the lay of the hand. that hand really relays the addict theme to me, for some reason. very unusual hand positioning, and i like it.

Okay, great shot, beautiful b/w study.
