This is the cup that my father drank his morning coffee out of every single day I can ever remember seeing him at breakfast. It's kind of a ritual cup, and that makes it special.

I like the way you've placed this on the table and used the patterns of the table to give this an geometric design, though in general centered compositions are a bit weaker, and the pattern here is perhaps not strong enough to make this work as pop-art does, or as an abstract.

You framed this image impeccably. Nice work.

Provocative one, breaking the rule of thirds, but I like it this way. :-) Colours are very fine together and I think your border helps your photo constructively. The handle breaks the symmetric composition and I love this effect, too!

The wood grain and the framing work very well together. Nice shot.

Symmetrically simple. It is very easy to watch and appreciate. I also like the simple earth-brown colour and its variants.

The Bg suits the cup very well, keeoing it all browns. Perhaos what could be imporved is using the 2/3 rule and having the cup off center and maybe a different angle.

I wouldn't change a thing. Good use of line to draw the eye to the subject. High Marks!

needs slight rotation to achieve perfect symmetry.

the textures and colors of this image are lovely, nice clarity and focus -- I expect that people might cite the rule of thirds but this composition calls out for centering
speck on saucer a bit distracting

A nice thoughtful composition. I like the lines, the colors, and the exposure and focus. I would have liked to see it off-center too though.
