Wow ! Great great job !!! I'm wordless !

Masterpiece

do not miss the hi res -- Then agree with above

Amazing, did you make the cup?

Wow, nice concept, nice lighting, nice reflection, great composition - well done And the smoke, adds the freshness of the coffee bean - simple yet elegant

Are the beans that make up the cup real beans ?

Yep, made the cup, beans are all real... smoke too. Thank you everyone for the kind words.

Wooow, amazing. Congrats for this work!!

omg... so beautiful.. how many hours did you take to decorate this ?

Actually, it didnt take that long. about a half hour with a hot glue gun (a must have tool for studio shots). I only did the front half of the cup and handle. Painted a cup black then glued the beans to it.

i want this cup...... can u gift me????... nice shot.... Goood Luck

Awesome job! I also love that you can just see a hint of glue string on the handle...adds to it. A hot glue gun is a must for everyone...I couldn't live without mine.lol. Very creative....all the way around. Well done.

LOL.... i saw that too..... It bugs me.... but can't photoshop it out. Too bad...i will for my portfolio

excellent HI RES.. hehe

I thought it was photoshop when I first saw it on the main page, then I clicked and realized it was photog contest...still can't believe how cool this is.

Looks like I need to run out and buy a hot glue gun. Never thought of having one before, but I want one now! Great job

My first words were - What the! No way! Instant fav author & high score from me Good luck.

Who spilled the beans? LOL, nice shot

Congrats for your new post! Ah yes, a world full of ... rats!

Thanks

Great shot and great setup!

those are so good served with stewed onions and garlic soaked bacon.. WOO HOO.. great capture

Thank you captgeo and Drivenslush. But hey, try this; bean soup with two spoonfuls of tomato paste, some celery, one cup -maybe two- of olive oil, and sliced carrots. You gonna love it, man, trust my words!

Great contrast between the main actors (bean) and the surrounding Great composition as well

your cup overflows
