    I agree about the light and I like the cup in the foreground. But there's something funky happening with her face and the her left calf. did you sharpen those?

    Not what I expected to see with the title 'Coffee Break'!!

    My first thoughts were (ok ... my second thoughts were ... ) if this is about the model and her body then why does the cup and plant feature so strongly here? I guess the title kinda answers that one but I do think the model should probably be more of a feature herself for this concept shot to be stronger. Perhaps her holding the cup of coffee in some manner and a closer shot of her.
    In that way you might have been able to use a darker exposure to make more of that light coming through the window. I can see a great shadow/light shot here if done right.

    You got a great DOF in this. Sharpness right up front in the cup as well back by the model and even the drawers in the back.

    I thinking a bit of mystery might have been achieved by having the model looking out the window rather back at us.

    Anyhow ... looks like you'll have fun trying some different shots with her

    Default Thanks to all...

    Bambi: The image artifacts are due to a very large reduction in size without all adequate care....sorry....

    Mad Aussi: The shot was not set up, but it contained the same ambiance I was attempting to get in the shoot which was set up in that general area...so I like it for what it is, but I certainly see where your suggestions could take it....Thanks.....Robert

    The idea is good. But the plant is way to distracting. I'd remove it, it doesn't add to the shot...
