Applied one curves adjustment layer in Photoshop with a slight crop. Came across shot luckily yesterday morning while I was waking up with my first cup of coffee. The light was peeking through the window curtain. All just by chance.

Lines of objects and light/shadow along with the fumes definitely drive my conviction that you nailed this photo challenge. Can you tell I'm a coffee drinker?
feels like morning. It seems a little washed in the darker areas, but I don't really mind it. the softness also fits the image well. background isn't *too* distracting. Nice capture. -7
I like the coposition, except that it's a bit too dark in the background. The black mug coupled with a dark background (to me) has the effect of not allowing the subject (the mug) to stand out. I love how the steam is captured though - very cool.
