Just curious about your thoughts on this....

Is it too processed?
Are the colors ok?

I both like and dislike it.

I like the graphic quality, the sharp outlines of the cup, the marks on the table. But there is something about the background (the windows and outside) that I find distracting. Cropping out some of the windows on the right hand side of the image may help, especially the bit of pane to the very far right...the stark whitmess of it is really distracting.
I love the coloring and the use of natural light and the play of shadows on the table. I like the angle of the shot. I really think a judicious crop would help.

Thanks for your thoughts AnneWynne,

I understand what you are saying, thus why I posted here...couldnt figure out what it was, but I think you are onto something...I will try playing with a few of your ideas.

Thanks again,

I'd like to see a little more contrast in the colors. The effect on the window panes is a bit much. The glass seems to be tipping over to the right. That being said, what a great idea. There is a lot of depth in the image. The reflections on the glass table are great. The glass is positioned perfectly. Keep up the good work.
