Damn that's a clear image!!! What a lens!! The guy at the camera store was trying to talk me into it this morning - it comes as a kit with the 5-D and he said it'd be worth it to buy the kit and sell off the lens and you end up cheaper in the long run - but that it's such a nice lens I might be tempted to keep it. I considered it, but then when I saw it was an f/4 I changed my mind. I'm always pushing the envelope to shoot low light, hand-held. I can barely scrape thru at 2.8 cranked up to ISO 1000! LOL! But yes, that is a sweeeet one, isn't it! ~ Lonnit

Vikas, all three your posts are sooooo good. I cannot even begin to pick a favourite. This one is "ugly" and "lovely" all at the same time. I could not imagine the harsh realities being photographer better than this. Compliments!

The color and DOF are a real standout, focus is deftly on the coffee pot while the whole story is revealed. (Oh, and Traveller's comment made me laugh out loud.) -Michael

Your color shots are always so wonderful Vikas and composition and lighting perfect! And your subjects are exotic, so different from what I see every day. I love your PP - do you use an "action"? I'd like to take PP lessons from you! :-) CJ

Ditto every comment below. Love the background too, speaks volumes. Sam Attal

It's astonishing how you tease the colour and texture to life in almost every element of the composition. I can look at your pictures for hours (and often do!). Regards -Najinsky

As always, well done Vikas. Great contrast and saturation, and like Melbob, I'm not terribly enticed to drink from that pot. - Kelly

One would feel a little hesitant to drink from that wonderful cooking utensil? Lovely 'gritty' shot though. ~ Regards Melbob

I may vote for this on general principals of overall excellence in color and composition. I have kind of promised myself to not vote for your pics for a while (sorry Vikas, you can't win every challenge), but this is very, very good. I think the title could use some work, but still, this is compelling. Best Wishes, Traveller
