Nice shiny metal but I'm not keen on the monochrome effect except for the coloured stream of liquid. It may make it stand out but I'm not sure it looks like coffee!

Do you have a fully monochrome version as well?

I like it but I find the background clutter confusing. I think removing that will give you a shot with a lot more impact. And I think the coffee might be a bit too orange. Otherwise nice shot and as I say, I like it.

Interesting shot. Nice presentation. Maybe a hair on the dark side, but that might be a necessary part of the personality of this picture.

thanks matey all the stuff in the background unfortunately is the coffee machine itself so hard time removing it hehe but will consider a diff angle.

It does seem a little orange but that is more the way it actually looks, maybe some color correction wouldnt go astray
