Coffee on the Go

Some like it hot some like it cold.

I think you needed to be much closer to make this one work--from this distance it's hard to tell what they are drinking. You also could have avoided the red fire hydrant, which pulls the eye away from the subjects. Red tends to do that.

.

BTW, you will get much better image quality in your posts on Dgrin if you link to your images rather than attaching them. The forum software has a lousy compression algorithm that makes sharp images look soft. Instructions here: How To Post on Dgrin

Thanks for looking and for you comments they are appreciated much.I am aware of the compression issue using an attachment, however it saves time for me rather than loading a image to my smug mug site or some other site only to delete it ,because something of poor quality may not be worth the effort.

I second what Richard said. From this far away and the fact that the men are on the far right of the frame you can't tell. Plus the background on the rest of the image that the coffee cups are such a small part of the image. If you had not titled this "Coffee on the Go" I would not have known.

I am sorry to say though, even if you remove the hydrant and get closer, it needs to be more than just 4 people walking with drinks in their hands to make it an interesting image.

I agree with you it's not an engaging image at all and I appreciated your C & C .
