Many ideas came to mind but one stood the most, and being a serious coffee addict it already had an extra incentive. Now, this was my first attempt at this type of picture, which at first I underestimated the difficulty of but really enjoyed working with it. I’m not 100% ecstatic about this outcome but relativity OK for a first attempt.

It took me a bit to see the heart, but once I saw it I really liked this image. It's kind of like those ring on a book images, only (in my opinion) a little more unique.
Good job in creating a heart from the handle shadow. I keep waffling on whether I think the shot would have been improved by use of a plain mug rather than one from Tim Horton's (not a big donut fan myself), but the thin black line around the rim of the mug is nice.
This is a great idea, though it took me a few seconds to see it. Initially I only saw a side lit mug, it was only when I looked away and back again that I actually saw the heart. I think the only way you could make it more apparent is to deepen the shadow with a harder light, not sure what that would do to the shot though.
