 I can't imagine beginning my day without a hot black cup of coffee. I love it!

For this shot I Used window lighting and my wife helped me center the coffee drip.

For editting i simply adjusted some of the black/white levels, saturation (i think), brightness, contrast, and applied noise reduction and unsharp mask filters.

Ok we all know drops are overdone here so I'll look for any excuse to knock it done. I got nothing here - this is excellent. Would still score hig without the drop.

nice composition and timing. Dynamic range could be improved. Nice shot

You like weak coffee, it seems :)
I love your lighting, it gives some wonderful contrast and shapes. The drop is a bit insignificant (compare to a Nespresso advertisement). So maybe it would be better without drop and maybe some steam to make it perfect.

Fits the challenge topic but the composition isn’t very inspiring and the water droplet is very cliché. 4
