 From Wikipedia:

The Starbucks logo is a "twin-tailed mermaid, or siren, or mixoparthenos as she's known in Greek mythology".[19] The logo has been streamlined over the years. In the first version, the Starbucks siren was topless and had a fully-visible double fish tail. In the second version, her chest was covered by her flowing hair, but her navel was still visible, and the fish tail was cropped slightly. In the current version, her navel and chest are not visible at all, and only vestiges remain of the fish tails.

Great job. Best of the bunch for me. Simple. I like the big black border and the conversion is spot on.

I'm not sure that the angle of the shot adds to the shot...

Looks like you could have done something with the coffee like align it with the horizontal, maybe spilling out our magically above the left rim.

nice composition

I like the off angle of the cup - the title is accurate, even more so with the ceramic mug and not a paper cup... a true addict. I'm not sure the border adds anything to the picture, that's a personal preference.

Love it! The composition is great, and I really dig on the shallow DOF!

i suppose it could be called fast food.
but i'm not going to argue that.
i like your angle and the focus and the lighting.
however, i don't like the border.
sorry to be picky :-)

Nicely done. The border is a bit distracting becuse of its thickness, but really nice composition, good angle and meets the challenge criteria. This should be in the top three. Good luck! (and I don't even drink coffee - lol).
