Coffee

I had finished my coffee and noticed those small spills at the bottom of the mug and I immediately thought I should take a photo of them, but I couldn't find a good spot for the mug, until I found a marble trivet. Pentax 50mm f1.8 with close-up filter (+4).

I noticed later, that the upper right corner area looks a little bit strange, it's like a cloning job badly done. I guess it's due to the close-up filter doing tricks in the corner area and also the mug isn't perfectly round at the bottom it's more like a rectangle with round corners.

Just my sort of picture, a photo that somehow bridges the realistic and the abstract. A wonderful composition with just the right amount of color in the coffee

stains to bring the image to life. I have no trouble with the darker area in the upper right corner; this isn't an advertisement after all but a moment of recognition from a real but imperfect world. This is the type of photography I encounter far too seldom on PN nowadays, the kind that makes me nod my head and say "yes".
