Bob,

I really like the composition on this shot. Focus seems a bit soft but what I'd really like to know is why the color balance is so warm.

Greatly appreciate the feedback. I adjusted color balance to create a red tone for the flat black cup and warm the entire image. I'm experimenting with black lately (I am a incorrigible experimenter).
I relied on auto focus. I rolled the plate during the time exposure. All of which created soft focus. SOOC attached.

I prefer it without the red tinting - far more. Everything sort of feels like it's leaning to the right a bit too - I keep tilting my head while I'm looking at it.

Thanks for the feedback . I know what you mean about the leaning right. When I view portraits which have the person laying sideways I have to turn my head to view it.

It seems like the composition is listing to the right a bit to me too. I do like the low key treatment.

I agree with Athena but still a nice image.

Thanks for sharing.
