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,

Interesting treatment, I don't think the desaturation does anything for this image.

I just took the pic. i don't even really know what desaturation is. this is the way it turned out.

Funny take on the lyric

If this is how your photos look straight out of the camera, I suggest you have a look at the settings and the manual.

very nice image -- lighting is great

congratulations

This would be amazing with HDR, if you can't reshoot, you can get HDR feel from one image.
