great

Coffee helps only if you drink it first

very original

Great image anyhow!

I like that you've told a story as opposed to taking the usual product shot. Well done on that! Choice of mug is also great LOL. I only wish the subject was sharper and photo was less grainy. Also, the roundish thing in the foreground is distracting. I think the horizon line should not have been tilted, unless it was more so, so that it seemed deliberate rather than a mistake.

Oh I don't question this being off theme because I can see the surroundings that are in the globe. It's unique entry! GL!

But you need to see the object and the reflection.

I think for the purpose of this contest it should be.

I was wondering if refractions count as reflections.

agree! a bad face burn

looks like she's recovering from a face burn!

looks very blotchy ..

washed out feel

Author your source links are for external images - your steps should be in the sbs. The only source link you need to have is the original unedited pic if its yours..

need to smooth out the finished piece author.. she's a very pretty subject and her smile is fantastic. but her skin color is coming out blotch.. try to see if you can even out the color on her face so she looks more even toned..good job otherwise..and GOOD LUCK

good image

Something's wrong with her cheeks color, it's not balanced.

Such a pretty smile
