 Ever since my friend and colleague colored her hair in this amazing amber tone, I was itching to ask her to pose for me! :-)
Thank you all for so warm welcome of the photo! :-)
Without DPC I would have never known about Topaz filters, which helped with this photo's softness. What am I talking, without DPC I would have never had courage to ask anybody to be my model!

Beautiful and my top pick. I love the softness and the eyelashes. Bumping up

You can feel her warm hands here. Nice.

Her body language says it all. Been there; done that. Nice technicals too, although the focus fall-off at her fingers is something I might not do in an image where her fingers are so critical to the notion of getting warm from the cup she is holding.

That gorgeous hair looks like glowing embers - one of my favorites.

Gorgeous image. The colors and the lovely girl are wonderful. I find the hideous pattern around the beaker just underneath the rim distracts from the overall harmony of the image. Top three for you, I hope.

Beautiful. Truly conveys the joy of that first sip. The warm tones add to the props and I love the varied focus as it builds the emotion. My favorite in this challenge.

Has to be on the front page. I can feel my hands being warmed by the cup. I am a bit distracted by the "sharpness" of the hair on the right side, but really don't know how to avoid that. It just seems to compete with the cup for attention. Otherwise, love the shallow DOF.
