    Solid, but boring. Also the machine looks tilted (the bottom edge of the machine is not parallel to the edge of the image.)

    I dunno, maybe a steaming hot cup of espresso sitting in front of it? But exposure seems dead on, lighting is even, details are present.

    I just set it up and took a few shots. I was thinking about the counter. I did see it wasn't straight. I was side tracked with using the flash and getting the right exposure.

    Thanks for the comments.

    Lightbulb A suggestion ...

    Reshoot w/ Tripod and a slightly lower aspect, to eliminate/minimize angular distortion ...

    or good old post processing, in PhotoShop CS3/4 ...
    1. Select > All
    2. Edit > Transform > Distort
    3. with the mouse, pull the lower, right-hand corner point down and gauge the correct amount of distortion to compensate the angled bottom
    4. File > Save as ...


    All done.

    Look, I did not create the optical laws of the Universe ... I simply learned to deal with them.
    Remember: It is usually the GLASS, not the camera (except for moving to Full Frame), that gives you the most improvement in your photography.
