 White cup, black coffee, white paper background, one lamp, 18% grey card to set white balalnce. Shooting straight down at the floor. I couldn't get the coffee steam to show up, but it was hot. I read in the forums where scalvert said a little color might not hurt. Hope he was right.

Nice lighting and shadows. Personally, I prefer milk in my coffee, but that would be too colorful for this challenge.

I like the lighting. I always struggle with the lighting. Great composition.

good pic, but why do they say black coffee when it really is brown?
