The technicals: I like bounce flash so I think your lighting is excellent. Your composition is nice with the slightly off centered foreground subject. The color scheme works well.
The feel: What are you trying to accomplish here? This is where the picture fails. The title gives us the impression we should be "overloaded" either literally or virtually in one of our senses. Visually, the picture is more bare than crowdede. We could imagine an overload of coffee smell (mmmmm), but not in this picture. I can hardly see the coffee and it is trapped in the sterile cage of a white filter. The DOF, while nicely done, also does not add much here other than to meet the challenge.
The game: you were rewarded with a near five because your techincals were well done. You were not rewarded with a higher score because the picture fails for the reasons above and does not transcend beyond an exercise in shallow DOF. |
