Superb lighting Robert.
The white balance is spot on.
The mood is emphasized by the lighting.
Well done.

Looks very inviting Robert. I like how the lighting is subdued and the background so dark. Good job,
Janice

Wow, Robert this is quite different from anything else I saw from Cuba! The spotlit coffee cup on the neutral colors floating on dark wood with a black background... It all works very well for a mood around a morning coffee for some private eye. Hmm, almost needs a cigarette sitting in an ashtray, some smoke curling up into the air... But I guess that was another era. But now that I think of it, have you tried this in B&W? -- it might give more of a period feel.

P.S. I think what's most clear from the photos is Martine is a saint for letting you take pictures of everything everywhere!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Robert,
J'aime mon café avec un bon crème et de 'Splenda 'Lol! This looks just about right, all that is missing are the beignets!!
Great perspective, colors, sharp images and composition. TFS,
Fran

A frothy coffee after a good meal is always nice. I think to improve the shot the focus should be on the cup as this is the main subject, then the items in the background would be slightly blurred. The colour tones and lighting is perfect.

Robert,
The first thing that catches my eye is the dark BG. Nice work achieving that. The shadowed areas make this a awesome picture.
Nice work. The USA is only 90 miles from Cuba and I have never been, what a pity.

Lovely lighting on that, also the wide angle seems to just draw you in.
