I like this shot a lot in terms of layout, but I would have preferred a slightly bigger depth of field so the salt/pepper and especially the mug in front aren't quite as fuzzy as they are. The back part is also grainy, did you try neatimage?
I REALLY like this composition, as this is what I think about when I think "coffee shop", but I am confused about the focus. The focus is on the spilt sugar. IMO, I would have focused on the edge of the coffee cup, making IT the subject of the picture, and have everything else blurred out and in the background.
One of my personal favorites... I love the opened sugar packets and the sugar on the table. Great use of DOF to create interest and depth. Nice warm tones as well. :)
love everything about this - something really worth focusing on in that narrow focus range would put me over the top on this. Glasses, a nice pen, but discarded sugar packets is a little disappointing. The colors, focus, framing, exposure, layout, love love love it. This is great work - 7
