This is beautiful but it makes me a little angry as it looks like someone's gobbed half my morning coffee before I had a chance to have a crack at it. That makes laurielounge sad.
I think if you had used a white cup and saucer, it would have made for a better photo by giving more contrast. As it is, the coffee beans are lost in the black plate.
this is a really nice shot but, to me, the contrast/density is a bit destracting. The beans are so dark you can barely make them out so my attention goes there...trying to resolve them.
