It's a well set up shot. I like the lighting, I how everyting is so similarly toned, the mug and candlestick almost blend into the table. Very well done. I can't decide if the background is too distracting with the metal bars, perhaps a little less DOF to blur the background a little more? I don't know for sure though. I like the crop, many would be tempted to go too tight, but the space at the left side is good.
This isn't a 10 for me, and I'm not sure quite why. It lacks "WOW" factor, though it does have "wow" factor for me... A good capture, and a good entry. I think in the end brown and grey are not very exciting colors, and this photo suffers from the lack of any really exciting elements. But from an artistic standpoint it's very strong, and if Degas had painted it, it would have a spot in a museum.
...and some of those good-for-you muffins feel like you're eating that! : )
i like the composition of this picture a lot. i would be interested in seeing it with greater richness of color.
