Coffee sculpture.

This little man appeared quite by chance. Sean and I were taking a shot for a project we are working on. A sugar cube dropped into the cup and produced the resulting sculpture. We have since tried to create a female companion and have used over a thousand sugar cubes........

For some reason as I look at this, I see in the splash the profile of a person sitting on a chair. God, I need a vacation again already... This would actually make for an interesting advertsing picture. I'd think however it would need a tiny bit of retouching to remove the splash on the back rim of the cup. Great lighting and exposure! I really dig the tones of the cup and saucer. An interesting departure for you that I really like.

Mind you, I wrote the comment above just as you were writing yours, Bridget, so I guess I'm not the only one who sees it. Thank god...I thought I needed therapy.

Sean and I need therpay too, shall I ask them for a group discount?

Count me in on that group discount!

White on white what I actually like. Excellent composition!

Great job.

Any comments welcome.

sitting so proper... I really dig the contrast of this photo... great job!

Beautiful tones on this shot. And yes, I definitely see a guy sitting in a chair. But a THOUSAND sugar cubes? Wow! I too would clone out the splash on the back rim of the cup.

Way to go... Great shot 10/10

nice!

Just incredible! How did you light this one?

Judging by the graceful curves and thin legs, I don't beleive that it's a man. This is a wonderful, simple print. Love it. I do agree that you should clean up the rim, make it really crisp. Still a perfect photograph. 10/10

Thanks for all the constructive comments! I didn't clean up the rim yet to show that it wasn't digitally altered but I will! Thanks again to you all.

amusant...

I never get people sitting in my splashes. Maybe I just need to work harder at it. This is nicely done with cloud-person like splash. Kind of freakish, really.

Cool!

This is very cool and fun, Bridget. Not sure if I'd clean the rim, it adds a realistic touch I think, but that's just me. :)

love the white on white, and the lighting, and the splash looks like a person! Excellent

Are you guys still doing therapy?? Count me in on that group discount too!

Excelent work.

Have got a large group of people interested in group therapy, so the cost is low. Does that say something about photographers?..............

Excellent... I've been so busy with other stuff between the time I wrote "Excellent" to now(about 45 minutes) I've lost my train of thought. So, I'll just leave it at that.

Well you can me in. I can count as three people. The photographer. The actor. The musician. :)

You crack me up Bridget! Ms. "I am not that experienced as a photographer." (as per comments on my page). You humble yourself. I like that.

Looking at this, I might like this shot in B&W too. But the guy in the chair. Uh... he kind of looks like our shrink?

Bridget, I've had such fun reading comments above and looking at this most unusual composition. Pricless.
