It's been too long since I have posted a coffee shot, and I know you have all missed them :lol:

The shots themselves weren't the best, but I rarely get great espresso shots when I set up to take photos.

C&C appreciated, and I know there are a couple of hot spots and I couldn't get rid of my reflection in the group head.

I am not sure what it's supposed to be - it's part of the Dream set (forget who created them).

Illy cups are very cool - I have broken two cappuccino cups, but haven't come close to scratching my $2.95 Duracarem cups!

Holy coffee Patrick - sell them to Getty I think they'd go in a snap (for a price of course!!). Nice work! Critique? None needed here...

Actually - on closer inspection - clone your reflection out!

I'm gonna be a bastard and say that that first shot has some nasty spirralling going on ... just kidding.

The second photo is my favourite of the two - I love the angle, shots of shots aren't often shot that way.

Geoff & Antman - I know, I know - I didn't know how to clone out my reflection on a shiny, round object.

Matty - again, I know - ordinary shots. :lol:

Actually Matty, I was inspired by one of the photos on Hazel's blog site, however, the I couldn't focus close enough.

Nice one!

The second one is really cool....i NEED one now!

The first one is my favourite. Nice composition and cropping.

By the way - your reflection can be easily removed in PS.

I'm sorry

Rooz, here is another pic of a handful of my illy cup collection (that I don't use) taken quite a while ago:

(I know, the shadows are a little harsh).
