I'm keenly aware of the shortcomings of this photo but as I haven't done a challenge in months, I felt like entering. Last minute entry on a shot that I really could have used some studio lights for. Oh well, coffee lovers will get it at least.

I am not sure about this movie and the connection, but I will give it the benefit of the doubt. This is one of the best product type shots I have seen. I can smell them! Great job. 10.
Great lighting, nice tones. I love the way you've managed to capture the texture of the coffee beans. I don't know about the unequal cropping of the hands, but maybe it looks better this way anyhow.
I really like this one because it's not a literal interpretation of the film itself, but fits the title perfectly, regardless. Which, to me, is the point of the competition. You can't get any better than coffee.
