Aroma Coffee Festival Images Part I

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Aroma Coffee Festival Images Part I

Here's my take on some images from the festival today. Our time was short there but we had a very nice time, meeting up with other DSLRusers (more shots to follow). Critique/comments most welcomed:

Hot (chili) coffee ingredients:

Too scared to ask for a coffee, but he did agree to having his image taken!

This girl was only too happy to model for some other photogs there:

Geoff, hard to find too much to critique about - great stuff. The photos of the two people especially are very well done.
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

#2 and #3 here are awesome images - fantastically well balanced light and great use of colour. Sadly the first for me isn't in the stellar company of #2 and #3. #4 elsewhere would also be exceptional. These all show the magic of the 50/1.4 lens in skilled hands too

Michael - thanks. She was indeed at the Turkish stand (I think). Here's one with more direct eye contact. They were having fun and I think it shows:

Good work Geoff. Pinocchio does it for me. Only because you don't come across these type of subject matter too often and also the sharpness and DOF.
