Revisiting old images from last year

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I like it, as a composition it works well and the PP is not off putting so I figure it must be alright in my mind :up:

The only thing that jumped out at me as a negative, and this could be becasue I can sometimes be a coffee nut, is the OOF coffee stream. The shot is purely hinged on coffee hence in my mind the cup is important (in focus) but also the thick red/brown stream of coffee is the absolute key.

mmm.. coffee...

hth, a little bit anyway :up:

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

Thanks Biggerry, I kind of agree, i found it very hard to get some good focus on the coffee stream as I litterally had kitchen staff around me working and they kind of wanted me in and out pretty quick so they only put a small cup so i could get more stream in the image, but i had to get the shot done before the cup filled up! but considering I hate coffee, i think its ok!!

thanks for your CC! can only make me better!! :cheers: :D
