Excellent shot - very unusual choice. Very graphic and well focused. It's just a shame that the reflection isn't more meaningful. Don't ask what it should be but it's just a point! Love it.

Wow! Wonderful use of shallow DOF.

It's a nifty shot, but the cup is too much out of focus for it to work.

not ordinary point of wiew! good focus of the tree.
Is it possible to diffuse only a part of the picture? Anyway, the cup's border is not a circle, there are 2 - 3 cuspids... I like the background color.

Interesting DOF, makes the liquid/reflection stand out. Seems a bit abstract. I'm not quite sure what would be extraordinary about it, besides that it is black and has an image reflecting off it. The contrast of green and black works well. The image by itself doesn't say much too me.

You have a nice, pleasant green and hazy area - but I'm not sure what else you are telling me.

Little vague...probably a great shot but just can't figure it out.

Great camera work. Look at this picture for about 30secs, focusing on the branches, without blinking. It takes on a new perspective. Creative imagination.

Interesting concept. I think the glass and background is too blurred though.

Wow that is black. I'd try and add a bit more focus in the cup though.

I think a tighter crop would help this, I know you were trying to get the whole mug into the shot, however, with it being so far out of focus, my eyes feel like they are crossing trying to look at it.

cool use of the special reflection DOF. glass cup?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful image, I really like the narrow depth-of-field with the focus on the reflection.

How did you do that without photoshop??
