| I assumed my monitor wasn't set right after a while, but even when I set it to 100%, STILL couldn't see a reflection. Finally downloaded and monkeyed with it in PS ... THERE it is! Very tricky idea, wish I could've seen it earlier, surely would've upped my vote from a 3 to at least a 6. |

I'm really surprised this one didn't do better. Maybe people didn't look hard enough to find the reflection or maybe their monitors aren't set up right.
I still like it though. |

| Wow, originally looked at this at work and had no problem seeing the reflection and gave you a 7. Thought then and still think it's a great idea and a great shot. Just now looked at it at home and whoops! Where'd the reflection go? lol...too bad so many people had trouble seeing it. Should have placed higher. |

| dude, exactly where is the reflection in this photo? I'm trying my hardest to give you credit here... are you being figurative about staring at a cup of coffee, aka, "reflecting"? |

I don't understand. Is there a reflection that I am missing?

| Very nice. Too bad I can hardly see the reflection. I'll give you a 9 |

| Please forgive my ignorance, but I fail to see the reflection, maybe because i don't know what dpjava is, if it is a software program, ans for your dpjava is like cold coffe, well. |

| What an awesome idea! I put it in photoshop and was able to see the reflection more by putting the brightness up and contrast down. Would like to see reflection more clearly..otherwise great and very creative! |

| I really like the contrasting colors on this one. |

| glad i came back and looked at this again - if your monitor isn't adjusted JUST RIGHT, you can't see the reflection - at least I didn't the 1st time -- that means you're moving up from 2 to 8 |
|

| I had some help on this one. I had to turn the brightness on my monitor to it's max in order to see this reflection. I don't know if it's my monitor that's off or yours, but perhaps when the challenge is over you can start a thread in the forums using your photo as an example for gamma settings or monitor calibration? Anyway, good shot, though I wish the reflection were stronger. 6, just-married |

| Reflection ? Overexposed, unless you intended a hi-key still life ? |
|
|
|
10/02/2002 07:25:00 PM |
| I had to crank my monitor all the way to light to see anything at all. A great shot of the coffee though. DPz |
|
|
|
10/02/2002 07:20:00 PM |
| had to look thrice to see it. Very subtle! Excellent. Slight yellow colour cast which is unpleasant (handle, background) |

| Nice sharp interesting picture but sorry, I don't see the reflection. |

| you are going to have problems this week with people not being able to see the dp in the coffee. considering all the problems people seem to have with monitor calibrations. |
|

| This was not very obvious. I knew there had to be a reflection in there somewhere. I did finally find it only after brightening up my screen all the way. The concept is good and your point is made well. I am afraid that the reflection isn't strong enough, and the people that wont take the time to try to see it will just mark it down. It is a shame, as it is a really nice shot. The angle and framing/cropping are great, and the focus is fine. The lighting is nice on the subject. Overall this is a nice shot. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~ |

| i don't see reflections, but i love coffee, so if your score's low, it ain't my fault. |

| Ok I try hard to think outside the box but Im not getting the reflections element to this shot. It's a fine picture of a cup of coffee (albeit a little static due to centre placement). Good reproduction of all the whites (which can be tricky). 6 - floyd. |

| I didn't see the reflection immediately but knew there was probably one somewhere. I like it. The fact is it turns my stomach as I don't like coffee, but I won't hold that against you!!! 8/10 |
|

| Interesting. Too bad it wasn't a bit more visible. Great idea. |
|
|
|
10/01/2002 09:20:00 PM |
| That looks like very strong coffee or motor oil. Very suttle highlights. |
|

|
10/01/2002 08:21:00 PM |
| There must be something wrong with my monitor because I don't see any reflection. Autool |
|
|
|
10/01/2002 06:47:00 PM |
| clever and creative...wish the reflection were more visible, I can barely see it |
|
|
|
10/01/2002 03:16:00 PM |
| Neat idea - but it's awfully hard for me to see. I had to turn the brightness all the way up, and it's still fairly faint. :) Could be just my calibration though. Very original idea - I don't know if it could be executed any better or not? - 6 - JB |

Wow, do I not get this one. Really great photo of the coffee cup, saucer and coffee. I'm not too crazy about the background (too similar to cup/saucer). Please convince me there is ANY link to the challenge and I will raise your score. 6 Swash
Thanks for the note: Raised your score anyway. Very nice, very subtle! How about a split, 7? |
|

|
10/01/2002 09:49:00 AM |
I like the idea, but the DPC reflectiion is just too dark to see without cranking the monitor up. I would advise being a little less subtle next time!
Oh, stuff it. I like the picture anyway. Maybe the subtly is good! 7 |

| I've checked this picture on a couple of monitors now. I don't see a reflection anywhere. |

| Very pretty picture, but am I missing the reflections? |
|

| A great shot, but I miss the reflection part of it. |
|

| a perfectly inviting cup of coffee........ good highlights and no hot spots, nice shadow detail, beautiful contrast.......... I think I'll pour a cup myself. |
|

| Cool. I hope others take the time to see it. It may be a bit too subtle. karmat |

| A little more light on the reflected paper would have been nice. |
|

| the reflection is nearly invisible - that's a shame! 10 for the effort and idea. |

| Where is the reflection? Why has this shot been entered for this challenge? |
|
|
|
09/30/2002 03:29:00 AM |
| I'm still looking for a reflection...I'll check back again to see if I am just overlooking it. Very nice shot of the coffee, however. |

| very subtle :) I like it. |

| Although a nice photo, I fail to see any reflections in this shot. There's plenty of shadows but no reflections. |
