Starbucks

New York City, NY, USA

The early morning light casts a long shadow on a hot cup of coffee - like the patterned table top, the day will soon unfold like ripples from this special, tranquil moment

I TOTALLY agree on the paper cup thing. Most Starbucks have ceramic mugs sitting atop the espresso machines, and if I'm sticking around I usually ask for that instead (don't know why I didn't here). But this is a very "trademark" image. I wish I had the presence of mind to get rid of the clutter on the right side of the image - one of the issues I often have is that I tend to miss things in the framing of the shot that are blaringly obvious in the captured image. In that sense, photography teaches me to see the world around me.

Good composition and lovely "morning"-coloured light.

However, coffee in paper cups?! No, thanks. Starbucks need to first learn how to brew quality coffee, and then serve it in a civilised manner.
