 This is Dave, and this is a last minute photo; I've been begging him all week to let me shoot him... lol

hope this does alright, it's a bit noisy and not very sharp, but that's what I get for shooting on a late and cloudy afternoon (for a morning shot). plus I guess it adds to the grungy morning feeling I was going for in the first place : )

as for the non-technicals, I'm not so keen on the slouching and the two handed cup holding, but beggars can't be choosers, right?

Hey, welcome back! Well, at least a month ago, anyway. :)

This is just another in a series of great shots from you. Someday maybe I'll be able to toss something together and whip off a 6+ score.

Finally a well-done coffee photo! Excellent choice going with B&W, and I think the border works well with the shot. Very good use of DOF to draw focus to your subject. This shot epitomizes "morning" to me. :)

I like this one...like the way you caught him looking up and ready to take a sip. Neat smoke. Nice composition and positioning within frame. 7
