 I went through a whole slew of ideas before I decided to go with something much simpler. I took a ton of photos and I thought this was the best one. I'm not super happy with it. I really wanted to have a more obvious bag of coffee but no one had any... but we'll see how it does...

Post-processing:
-levels
-contrast
-color
-contrast
-crop
-hue/saturation

Special thanks to my friend Alec ( weenisw) who modeled for me.

Note: I wanted to keep the yellowish tint to it to evoke that sense of early morning when you just turn on the lights but it's still dark outside... because that's kinda what we did.

Good attention to detail: sign on the fridge is not too obvious, etc. Good idea for the challenge. Would have more zing if his face was sharpened and his hand was more in focus.

I like the idea, white balance is off though. You could set it manually using a bit of white paper, or try the tungsten default
