Fantastic image and worthy of the ribbon it(you) earned. I have a different take on your OOF concerns. Like all good macro photography, what you intended to have in crisp focus was in crisp focus, that being the drop of the bottom of the spoon and its amazing reflection in on the surface of the coffee. The texture of the sugar toward the rear of the cube really completes the the image. So, while you see this as an f16 photo with a slight focus problem, I see it as a perfectly composed f2 macro shot. My favorite in the challenge for sure...

Congrats to you and thanks for the suggestion. I think I'd rather gaze at your photo instead! Excellent symetry, huge dof, water like glass... amazing shot.

Terrific shot! I really love this one. A small window of time to get the shot and no footprints in the snow. A bit of luck was on your side but your skill shows through. Congrats!
