More than just sepia, the gold tones are gorgeous and unique. the steam is brilliant. The slightly out of line chest has nice detail. Netting backdrop is a nice device to mold the various elements into a single scene. very easy to look at.

Aptly created for the contest theme... With visually appealing features & soothing textures.
An artistic rendition. Monochromatic colors. Excellent details.
Impressive modification & accent superimposition.
Thanks for sharing...
Congratulations!
Another fearless forecast!

A beautiful & artistic picture of the old fashioned Coffee Grinder, Coffee Beans & a Percolator with steam issuing from it's spout set against a Hessian Coffee-Sack in the background. Beautiful Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Good luck in the contest
Susan

Cool,Annie!
'The Old Coffee Grinder' makes for a pleasantly interesting and very attractive image,my friend!
The Sepia Toning ( which has a very pretty Golden look to it! ) really adds a lot of charm to the scene!
'Good Show'!

You may think !me crazy, but what set this image off for me was the whisk of steam. Well staged image. Excellent focus. Fantastic exposure. Well planned. Good luck and thank you for sharing.

A nice sepia color photo. The added steam out of the pot adds to it. You can almost smell the coffee. It's a little dark in the left bottom corner. Good luck with the contest.

This is really convincing as from a coffee shop. Especially with the steam coming from the coffee pot. The sepia tones is really nice. I'm not a coffee drinker, I wouldn't think of this. Thanks for sharing.

You chose a great subject for the sepia format and I really like the way it brings out the wood grain of the coffee grinder. The jute was a clever addition of texture and adds to the impression of antiquity so well. The steam from the coffee pot also looks great.

avmurray - Ok, so how did you get the hot vapor rising from the coffee pot?

This is an excellent example of how Sepia can be used in a still life. I really like how you incorporated the coffee bean bag as a background - a master stroke.

Your camera technique is tight, crisp and clean. Did you use a tripod for this take?

DOF, composition and framing all work in concert to show a very well put together take.

I think this is definitely a contender. Good luck in the contest ... B-)) Bob

    I must admit that I added the smoke, and I did use a tripod. I always do when I do still life. Thanks a lot for the lovely review and for the good luck wishes.
