Would an artist throw away a pencil? And a sharp on at that?

5 - Good idea, well done if it is original. Criticism; it is a shame there are no visible beans on what I assume is a coffee plant (apologies if they are there but lost with size restrictions). Has a 'commercial' type property to it that I can envisage being used in such a business. Colors are good, not sure on the inner white/gray/blue frame, but it does work. Maybe a different 'composition'/cropping of the top right/#2, not sure.

This is the kind of picture I would expect to see in a high-dollar advertising campaign (and that's a good thing!). Beautiful lighting, interesting layout choice, gorgeous color.

I like it. You made something meaningful in its own way, and interesting, rather than just following the challenge theme. I like the narrow depth of field on the beans, but it's hard to figure out what the stem is at first glance.
