The blur of the bird is inconsistent with the cup and beans being so sharp in focus.

er... is it better to drink coffee than eat the coffee beans?

need to improve the bird's eye

as simple as the story is, you did an exceptional job creating it.. awesome work .. good luck

thanks!

But will he get his coffee? Or maybe he'll end up lost in the woods, making some brew with roots and a suspicious mushroom... I need a coffee!!

Great job, like the detail of the cups in the background!!

Perfect filter work for this, nice job.

Congrats

Chinese Junk!!! (love those boats, favorite one ever was in the 5th Element because it could fly) great job author

Well done, nice result. The hand image is from a it less quality than the coffee cup, but that's a nitpick. Good luck!

Yeah, I might (dive in that is). Nicely done, good luck.

Nice... I think it would be much better if the "... wouldn't you?" was curved to match the curvature of the cup... and yes I'll have one... long black please

Yes, the hand was a bit less quality than the cup...I did actually try to even it up a bit, by adding some 'noise' to the cup image, but didn't want to add too much and spoil *that* image!

Have gone ahead and curved the text to the cup. I had pondered over this at the start, but had decided against it, for some reason. But as it's been mentioned, perhaps I should have gone that way to begin with. Any better, you think?

Nice job! I like the shadow the wrist and hand are casting on the surface of the coffee. My only thought is that the droplets on the hand could be shaded a dark brownish color to help realism.

EDIT: I think it looks better...but perhaps not all need to be the same brown. Vary it up a bit since light refracts differently at different angles. Sorry to nitpick with all these suggestions...just like the image and would like to see it do well.

very very nice work...gl

Have just tweaked the droplets to a brownier/tanner colour on the hand, I hope, to better effect.

Oddly, the coffee doesn't appear toooo dark on the skin in real life (my coffee, anyway - just tried it!), but is darker than previously as in retrospect I agreed - either the drops were too light, or it was a very weak cuppa!

Very nice work on this, Always love the Mary Poppins Bag effect, reminds me when she pulls the lamp out of the bag and in this case you can pull the Person out of the cup

very nice work, love the idea. Only thing I would have suggested (if I would have seen this in time ) is to lessen that pinkish look on the fingers, to try to blend it more in the rest of the image. Cool stuff!

Best entry IMO, great job.

Congrats, well done

congratulations...

Congrats!!

congratulations...

Thanks, everyone, for the congrats, the help and the votes!

Nice

use of source is looks very low........ good luck

nice but i think its a bit CBR (chopped beyond recognition) good luck though

Agrees with Lamantine. You know I coined that antonym? (CBR'd)

At this point it looks like you could have made this without the source, hence my agreement with it being CBR'd. Can you see where we are coming from? Although it's not against the rules, it does take away from the creativity with the original source. That's all.

Hey Lamantine and Jwashoewah i know that it's not really related to the 1st image and this is the reason:
I've wanted to try my chance in a contest so I started to edit the image and i got this result i knew it was CBR'd but I didn't have time to do another one because i'm studying now for my final exams that's why I've uploaded it.
And thanks a lot for your comment

gud luck
