Hi! Marija,

You may have rushed this one but it still is a great image. The framing effect of the tables in perspective gave me an impression of a pelmet framing curtain. I love the olive green hues that give a calming feeling to a quiet scene. It may not have Coffee written all over it, but it does invite ideas of relaxation.
A fine reflective calming image.
Well done Marija!

Mike.

Maria Good evening.
Very beautiful photography. I like much the reflection and environment. The only small flat : the chair in the left higher corner.
Cheer.

This is so well done Maria..a very moody picture and like you said graphic too. I just have a suggestion tho..I wish the reflection was not covered up by the bar that goes horizontally. If you get what I mean, i wish it were placed slightly higher. That said the tones are superb and the idea so simple but very effective. Well done.

A very clean and "cool" entry Marija.
The absence of colour, the emptyness of the cup, the desolation of the room, the leafless branches... it all creates an atmosphere much colder and lonelier than my association with coffee...
But it remains a good compo.

That reminds me that I have to post my coffee picture, or kit might get mad. ;o)

You have it for composition. Actually, it seems to be your strength.
The only thing missing is a 2nd cup....for me. ;o)

Very good shot, you are becoming of reflections as well! :) That's why your best works are reflections on buildings!
I think you achieved that "morning at work" mood well, especially if you don't have the time to drink it in piece.

Super fotka, nije mi samo jasno otkud danas cijela ta frka sa kavom? Nešto na forumu?
Pozdrav!

Mood - yes mood, that's what coffee is all about and this mellowed sepia of a very well placed coffee cup says it all. The curtains are a beautiful backdrop for that lonesome 'character'. Yes - feel like just stretching out and enjoying sips of hot coffee Marija. Excellent entry

Love all those lines and reflections, topped off with the curves of the cup & saucer. Nice, moody, pleasant scene!

Amazing what we can do when we are pushed.
This is delightful. Very feminine but a delight. I feel this to be a place of refuge. Cool, quiet and comfortable. Maybe it isn't but that's the impression you give. Good work under pressure!
BTW, your promised WS is posted.

Marija:

This is such an excellent picture. I love the light, the reflection, the shadows.

For some reason, it makes me melancholy. ;)

Thanks for sharing.

this shot reminds me of the poster from the third part of the Godfather saga, where Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) sits in an empty room with a large window at his back. Perhaps their is little resemblance between these two and yet somehow this image has struck that poster in my mind!

Anyway graet shot, i love the sepia here and the contrast between dark & light!

p.s back with points tomorrow
