 Still life taken at my favorite Cafe Bar. Little did the waitress know that she just made the perfect still life. This cup of coffee, spoon, saucer, and chocalate covered espresso bean are the tools of her trade. For the effect I used a B+W 2x Green Filter

don't get why it's green. I'd either take away the packet with the writing in there or make it so it's in focus. I keep wanting to read it, it took a few times.

What is it? Coffee cups? The need to be in focus.

I think a warmer color may have worked a bit better to draw you into the picture. Good concept, though, original!

IMO a red coloring would have warmed the image, green does not quite seem right

I don't particularily like the green hue. Not very appitizing. Also, the overexposed spots are very distracting.
