My first picture with my new Canon Digital Rebel EOS300D camera, very exciting and pleased with the result.
A simple shot to create, actually. All I did was setup as seen, and brought the light very close and just over the cup to emphasize the whiteness. The cup and saucer was placed on a sheet of white paper. Then I decreased the saturation in photoshop, and voila. Hope you like.

Nice high key image with good contrast. Image is a little flat for me with your choice of desaturation and shadows could be a bit softer as well. Lighting appears too harsh, but I guess that's all part of high key images. Composition is well balanced.
Great subjects and really good set up. I'd like to see the same thing with a dark background... but I'm being picky. I quit smoking over 5 years ago and quit drinking caffeine 6 months later. I wish you luck with your resolutions! :-)
Already? LOL Good intentions anyway. Love the tone and the focus is really nice. Beans are just a little bit dark, but hey they are coffee beans. :) Nice going. 8 from me.
