| My photo had several issues to contend with.  First, I didn't brew enough coffee to get the pour to flow properly through the nozzle.  So I added water... Bad choice, I should have brewed more coffee, instead the coffee looked more like tea.  Secondly, my six foot wide white paper blind looks like a postage stamp on the nozzle.  Oh if I could have used "advanced" photoshop technics to blend it away.  I went with a blue background because my original thought was to make a black and white image.  However, the coffee wasn't dark enough to stand out in B&W.  So. in the end, I rather liked the red handle, so I went with color.  Yes, its slightly over sharpened... I like that effect on metal.  However, notice that it doesn't effect the color channels only the luminance.  Can you guess how I did that? Oh well, I'm happy with my placing.  TTFN |
