Coffee

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 10 February 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.

This is another one taken while waiting in the rain, trying out my contacts. It came out alot duller than I expected so I had to play with photoshop to get something I liked!


Constructive criticism (or just downright criticism!) is welcome and appreciated for all my shots!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Sandrine from Cincinnati, United States

Great processing... I would have not put it in the center though, you could crop it and take out the right see what it does...

@Sandrine: I'll give it a shot Sandrine, thanks for the feedback

I really like the processing. Gives it a great look. I do agree with Sandrine for the cup being too central (alas, I am a day late and a dollar short, tho' LOL) Even a more panoramic style crop might be effective??

@amy: Possibly, the background took away from the shot so part of the reasoning behind my post-processing was to blacken it so all the focus was on the cup! I might play around with it a bit if I can find the time!

Tse Min from Melbourne, Australia

i quite agree with Sandrine and Amy. Crop out the right and a bit of panaromic style would look great! Nonetheless, great post processing!
