 This is my first submission to dpchallenge (I am new to photography).
When I think of coffee, I think of the bean. Those little beans can really have a neat texture, that is what I was trying to capture here, along with my addiction to caffeine. :)
I appreciate any comments that may help me improve my photos.

As far as technical photography is concerned, the only thing missing is something out of focus in the foreground.
As far as composition is concerned, what on earth is the point of that bowl?

As far as creativity and respectable picture taking are concerned, if I could have created something like this in my first five years of photography, I would have felt like I was on top of the world. Congratulations on a fantastic overall image. You even got the yellow background on the name/rx ###.

So.... Do you work in the medical field then?

This composed shot expresses our desperation and dependence on coffee.

This reminds me of smardaz's . I think you did a good job of making this look like an actual prescription. dof is good. although i think that the main subject could be a little sharper.

I am jealous. We only get a few hours to get our photos taken, edited and submitted in this challenge yet you've constructed a fantastic creation with a perfect background to boot. Good luck.
