Can't explain exactly what it is, but this is one of my favorite shots in this challenge. It could be the coloring, and I really like the map... Yeah, not so helpful, sorry! :)
One of the few bean shots that I've really liked. This was well done with the burlap sack and ground beans. The map really adds to the effect you were going for. Nice...
interesting composition for this photo. the leather strap running through the coffee is a bit distracting in the composition for me. maybe it's because it's the same color as the coffee, so my eye keeps thinking it's an odd ribbon of coffee? i really like the use of the map and canvas bag in the picture, and like the copper accent pieces in the background. the picture has a nice rich tone to it.
