Wow ! Great great job !!! I'm wordless !

Masterpiece

do not miss the hi res -- Then agree with above

Amazing, did you make the cup?

Wow, nice concept, nice lighting, nice reflection, great composition - well done And the smoke, adds the freshness of the coffee bean - simple yet elegant

Are the beans that make up the cup real beans ?

Yep, made the cup, beans are all real... smoke too. Thank you everyone for the kind words.

Wooow, amazing. Congrats for this work!!

omg... so beautiful.. how many hours did you take to decorate this ?

Actually, it didnt take that long. about a half hour with a hot glue gun (a must have tool for studio shots). I only did the front half of the cup and handle. Painted a cup black then glued the beans to it.

i want this cup...... can u gift me????... nice shot.... Goood Luck

Awesome job! I also love that you can just see a hint of glue string on the handle...adds to it. A hot glue gun is a must for everyone...I couldn't live without mine.lol. Very creative....all the way around. Well done.

LOL.... i saw that too..... It bugs me.... but can't photoshop it out. Too bad...i will for my portfolio

excellent HI RES.. hehe

I thought it was photoshop when I first saw it on the main page, then I clicked and realized it was photog contest...still can't believe how cool this is.

Looks like I need to run out and buy a hot glue gun. Never thought of having one before, but I want one now! Great job

My first words were - What the! No way! Instant fav author & high score from me Good luck.

Congrats, well deserved,

woow... appears living in the photo itself

I believe these little guys jump pretty well unless it's on a glueboard Great shot.

Very nice. How did you get him to cooperate?

awww the eyes look so sad BUT WOW WHat an amazing picture!

I had it on a big white paper.... under a large plastic container. I let it sit for a while and carefully took the container off and it stayed. I took lots of shots.... but eventually it got ticked off (flash going off in 8 eyes will do that i suppose LOL) and jumped. Thank God it didn't jump at me but in a different direction.

What was your lighting for this? It's such a nice even tone all over

oh yea and um.. what happened to it after it jumped? Please tell me this isn't a pet!

I bounced a diffused flash against a white paper behind it. No it isnt a pet. I hate spiders!!!!! Took all i had to do this.

And this thing was in yer house? Wtf kinda animals you got where you live? Lol

Lovely shot - great DOF and white background makes the object stands out as well as great as a reflector on the spider to add the clarity and details on it - well done
