Perhaps not the simplest pleasure, but conceivably not the most elaborate one.
Available light. No photoshop tricks. I believe, Canon 1D Mark II.

oh, my comment was written in a context of a critique written to my previous photograph for a "stupid, stupid" challenge. your words seem to be much more adequate :) it is just my pesonal humple opinion that people must not be accepted to a critique club without screening. It seems like some people honestly believe that their words may help someone learn how to shoot better, but in reality they do nothing but harm to those who take their words for granted.

FWIW I "got" the context of a class/club and their model taking a break without much trouble ... the processing gives it a look which reminds me of an etching or other "old-timey" print, which I think works well for this image.
This is one of the most interesting photos I've seen in a long time. I can't wait to read the explaination.
it is dull, really. this is a break during one of our evening classes during which our model volunteered to brew and serve coffee. the girl at the table is non-traditionally sexually oriented. that's all folks.
wow, seventeen ones and twos! too bad i cannot correlate them to my unpleasant, but honest comments under some masterpieces in this contest :)
can you believe this, someone actually sent me a private message in a desperate attempt to persuade me to reconsider my grade. he even said that he was not alone in his love to chocolate, but half of the participants here share his passion :)
Ahh now this is intriguing -- I'm guessing you have posted the address of this fine establishment in the description so we can all go there :)- nice range of tones in this.
wtf? Gratuitous nudity = simple pleasures??? Doubt it. Even the people in the shot don't where to look! :D I'd vote low, but the photo is actually really well taken. Good light and tones. 5.
Of course I've come to this one a few times. It's a great picture, but I just can't make the "simple pleasure" of it. The picture and the title are especially discongruous. What's going on? Why are the people ignoring her? What does a naked women have to do with coffee at midnight? Great questions and a photo you could really stare at for a long time, but doesn't really fit the challenge for me. I'll give it a 5, but in the proper challenge it could have been a 10.
This is simply elegant! Obviously a break during a camera club or similar shoot where the model is comfortably liaising with the members. Simply pleasurable! Picture this elegantly framed and hanging on your wall - I can!
