"Bitter Coffee Maker" does meet the Duotones requirement of the challenge. I think was an extremely hard challenge based on the challenge itself and so many entries, but everyone has to start in one challenge or another. At least know you have gotten past that first entry and can go on from there.
The image itself is an interesting idea. I like the concept of the spilled coffee. Also I think the lighting you use is prefect for the shot, not too much shine but enough glow. Good positioning of your pieces to provide a nice balance. I think it might be interesting to try a few different perspectives with this shot, possible a lower angle and lowing the grounds to be the foreground. The overall composition is good and doesn't leave empty spots.
I think because there were 610 entries the subject really has to be spectacular and stand out for voter. I think you had a great idea and good first challenge. Also after peaking at your post about the Painting With Light score, I am sure you will be on your way up. Best of luck.
Lol. I'm with you on this one. Reminds me of when I don't get the coffee ready to be brewed before I go to bed and then try and make it while half asleep and completely in a hurry. Nice capture and idea.
This looks almost two dimensional and the setup just isn't very interesting to me. The focal point is just some artfully spilled coffee grounds that aren't completely in focus.
