A last minute entry to satisfy my obligations to my DPC-O team. Coffee, fine Irish whiskey, and slightly whipped cream create this famous drink. Oh, and by the way, it was delicious....
Minor editing of DSC_7980. Shot in RAW, minor adjustments of contrast, clarity, saturation pre-conversion. Adjustment layers for Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, curves, and added noise ninja pre-resize. Sharpened post resize.

Yep - busy table cloth - it was the only one I had to use...
Yep - cut off the Jameson's bottle - but it fits the frame better. Putting it on the side would have looked worse...
Post Challenge: Thanks for the many comments - including the helpful critical ones. I always appreciate those! I would have loved to use another tablecloth and a different bowl for the coffee, but I was scrambling at the last minute to get this together.
Cheers to all at this joyous time of year!

Cheers! I've heard whiskey spelled w an "e" is made in Ireland and if spelled w/o the "e" it's from the states or elsewhere.. The Irish have it in the whiskey dept..
Creative shot --well put together.. You are the master on creativity:)
It sounds as if you keep these items quite near! Great idea, just right for the holidays as well. I agree with having a plain table cloth as the back drop and maybe a different perspective to get everything in. But as usual, wonderful lighting and composition.
Well, I'm sorta partial to scotch meself, but...whatever, good shot...not sure if the table cloth works for me or not, but...that's just being nitpicky
A couple of problems I find with this photograph: The way the Jameson bottle is cut off, and the table cloth. The cloth makes things too busy; Something simpler would've worked better, IMHO. And the cut of the Jameson bottle just looks so odd to me. Either a higher crop so we can see the whole bottle, or maybe laying it on its side, would've made it better.
