The post processing filter you used rendered the man's skin, especially on his right arm, right leg, and face in a way that is not very appealing.

Great images, especially the first one.
There will always be a division between purists who dislike post-processing and people like me who seek to make an image more interesting, regardless of its "reality".
You followed your muse, not the finger-wagging of the flat image reality crowd. Well played.

I post-process all my images. My comment had nothing to do with "reality."

Comments were invited. I didn't see berchman's comment about an unappealing filter as 'finger wagging' it was an opinion, as valid as anyone else's and quite helpful. As it happens I agree the filter makes the guy's skin look very unappealing and, if you look at much of my work, I'm definitely not a flat image reality type of person!

A group of photos that are tied to our addiction for Coffee.
#1, Action shot, and the phenomenon know as the "Snap Shot Squiggle Effect," known world wide as "SSE," oddly adds to the capture feeling of the movement. I suggest that you crop to the apex of that godawful yellow/red triangle, it has nothing to add to the misty cool tones of the total photo. That which does not add detracts.
#2 could be titled "Name Yur Poison" Again, the brown tones really grab us... interesting documentation, very good composition.
#3 The strong upper shelf should stand alone. Suggest you get rid of the competitive lower shelf and its smaller bottles
#4 Some purists might criticize the triangle of sun burn out, personally I think it adds to photo as does the subtle SSE.
You make me recall how good South American Coffee is and what overcooked burned leave-the-husks-on** junk we drink in USA is. And the coffee shops who think that never cleaning the tar from their pots adds to the Star quality and Bucks the norm of good tasting coffee.
Thank you for sharing this great grouping....obviously I must like them else why would I take so much time with my comments vs saying "nice set" which is the UHH norm.
**the light colored flakes in your coffee is husks left on at the grind.. should be ground off

Love these! Playing around with some effects myself and having fun. Love the subject matter too - been in that business far longer than holding a camera - need to try some pics like that myself. (would kill to find out where they got those glass jars!)

Absolutely D - If anyone wants a truly wonderful coffee experience, make sure that you visit a local roaster and try the coffee- the coffee sitting in most coffee shops is "old" more than 3 weeks old (therefore the oily black residue you see in containers) Optimum coffee? 1 day to a week old - perfect!

Berchman, I knew someone would call this one out! And you are the typical type of person who does this! Never shows a photo on UHH, except for one time, and is quick to scorn at ever chance!
I could care less what you and those like you think! Get a life!
