I plead guilty - Debi

Nicely done Debi! I like the slowly falling coffee crystals but please tell me you don't drink that stuff! Nice exposure and I like how the metals look. Great looking coffee cup and saucer too! CJ

BA ha ha ha ha, Debi. Will do. I'd like them starched, please. But lightly. ~Lydia

Really nice and crisp image. Love that set :) Imaginative concept for the challenge also. jano

Lydia why dont you scan and mail your sheets to me? Or better still let me mail the action to you! - Debi
ctfchallenge01-Dec-2007 23:12
looks good, and I admire your determination to improve it. I don't think I'd ever get anyone at my office to clean up my mess :) - b.c.
Canon DSLR Challenge01-Dec-2007 18:13
Oh yeah... kudos to the cleaning folks! ~Lydia

Good now, Debi. Now will you iron MY sheets? *grin* ~Lydia

Sheets Ironed using an action used for smoothing wrinkles and lines from faces - Debi

Ok let me admit, the spillage was not intentional. It fell while I was trying to taken the shot with one hand and drop the coffee in with the other. As this was the best shot of the lot, it had to stay.

Lydia- thanks for the honest feedback. Much appreciated. It will help me take more care in future. I will try to clone out the folds .

A special mention must be made of the cleaning staff at my office. They brought out th table cloth and lamp and cleared away the mess - Debi

I like it... but I think it's too messy... not the spilled stuff... I like that... the background. Can you clone out the folds? The silver stuff really works well. But for the spilled stuff to work, I think everything else has to be pristine clean. But, that's just my opinion. I really like the idea of it... and I like the execution of it, if you can clean it up a tad. (I hope you wanted 'honest'. ) ~lydia

Yes much more interesting & well lit too. The coffee looks great in the cup & the spillage too. Well done megirl:-)

Much better Debi. Looks a lot tastier too. -COAmature

This is the orignal

and the setup used -


Lokking for C &C - Debi

If you want a seamless join Debi you have to use one piece of cloth wiv the cup sitting on it then bend the cloth up behind the cup. If this needs a lot of work then get to it Debi don't worry about the housework:-)
ctfchallenge30-Nov-2007 12:27
Now you are being kind ;) .Light is too low. Too much grain. The join is not seamless. This needs a lot of work. - Debi
Rod 30-Nov-2007 10:17
Nicely done Debi, I think if you could have included the spoon tipping the coffee in the cup it could add more interest. I know I know, we're never happy a:-)

Again a WIP. Tried with tea first but the leaves tend to settle at the bottom. So it had to be coffee ( instant) - Debi
Guest 29-Nov-2007 23:09
Doesn't look like anything I would want to drink. Perfect job catching the change in action. -COAmature
