I liked what you did very much so I hope you don't mind that I tried out your idea for myself. Could not find a black mug so i painted the one black as well as the teaspoon and sugar cubes. I used glossy black hobby model paint. The type that comes in those little tins and is used for painting plastic model aircraft. Here is the result:

Critique Club:
Howdee and congrats!
Overall I think this is a fine image. The contrasting subjects work very well. I do however have reservations with how tight the subjects are to the center line. I think that giving ample room in the middle and then working to get your exposure just right in the camera so as to minimize the NI, you'd have a museum quality shot.
Thank you for the original shot!

| Do you need a special kind of paint to color sugar cubes? I'm just thinking of trying this myself and I'm picturing them melting in front of my eyes... |

| All three shots that ribboned in this challenge have this same quality of complementary-yet-opposed subjects. Less complicated image that the others, without the same level of message (how odd to be writing this on dpc...), but nevertheless contains that slightly odd sensation of thinking 'well, they're obviously opposite, but they obviously go together ...' |

Thank you all, for the voting and the encouraging comments on my image. It is truly an inspiration to earn a ribbon. I didn't believe it would make it so high, partly because the two cups aren't identical, and the "white" cup aren't really white, but more yellow, causing it to become a bit gray in the final image.
Regarding the lighting, I used two lamps as light sources to eliminate as much as possible of the shadows, but there were still some shadows from the black sugar cubes and the black spoon. Maybe I could have eliminated them all using a third light source?
Anyway, thanks again :-)

| Nicely done studio shot! I love the composition and variations between the two setups (instead of being perfect mirrors). The only suggestion would be either better fill light to avoid harsh shadows or re-angle the light source so the shadow of the black spoon doesn't bleed into the other side. |

| SUPER great! Perfectly planned and executed composition. The one thing I don't get is the lighting - how can the black sugar cubes have a shadow - showing light coming from the left - but the black cup doesn't? That is NOT a bad comment - just a question/observation. Bottom line - I expect you will be heading for ribbonville. |

| Black sugar cubes? Black licorice cubes? Never seen something like that before. Good choice on not have a border. Great shot, I expect it to do very highly. |

reminds me of sheridan's liquer, looks like an advertisment.

It sure catches the eye. Perfect shooting, Perfect work.
But I´m going to vote it down cause It´s just what I expected to see in this challenge ( just my feel)
Still its one of the best. |

| Wonderful image. Very well composed. My only question is what are those black squares supposed to be. Everything else in the picture is recognizable as something in the real world, but not those black cubes, so I find it distracting. |
