I'm having a great time doing this with you guys! :)

like this with the little bit flare and the bokeh in the background, very nice.

[Hope D Jennings]

Love the light and bokeh!

[Phil]

You know, I don't think I've ever had a Starbucks anything, ever! I like the look of this, though and if I come across a Starbucks I'll go in on your recommendation! :)

[Nicole Campbell]

I didn't even know that Starbucks made Christmas decorations. I really like the lighting, it looks warm and summery.

Arh - a market leader! Sounds like Starbucks have got it nailed. PS - I'll have a tall tea, skim milk no sugar, Thanks (wink wink) :)

[Sally Ings]

We visited Starbucks fairly regularly when I visited the States earlier this year. Cool that they get in on the festive cheer!

[Denise Escovino]

You can manage to get a nice bokeh even when you photograph a cup!!! You´re awesome, Jerry!

[Rick Schies]

Great idea

[Carole Imes]

Really cool shot and love the bokeh!

[Mac]

Peppermint mocha, mmmmmm
Before I read the caption, this screamed ad. Nailed it.

[Daryl O'Hare]

There are only two red cups: The Red Solo Cup and the Starbucks Red Cup. Tis the Season! Nice job! It's raining here AGAIN. So architechture shot will be a stretch. Who knows. Tonight, I'm the "videographer" for a friend's wedding, and it's downtown. Will scout something if no rain. Fun times Jerry!

[Sue Hecker]

Yum, gingerbread latte' (I think that's the flavor)...but it doesn't matter, they are all yummy!

[MrsVanPatten]

Nice capture and lovely back light.

[Meg]

Ooh! Yes! I feel the same! I am a huge peppermint mocha fan and live all year for the day the red cups come out!!! =) Great shot!

[Kass]

Yes, the allure of the red cups!. But decided to kick Starbucks peppermint mocha to the curb for 2014 - to save the calories/sugar overload and money. Purchased a coffee maker and frother for home and making my own drinks. Santa came early for me. :)

[jerry plume]

@darylo Good luck at the wedding! Rainy days downtown can make some great shots! Stay dry!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Rachel]

great shot, love the light and if it makes me crave for coffee then it must be good advertising!

[Nicole]

gorgeous shot! love all the light and the effect it creates!!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

My husband is a big coffee drinker, but he is not a Starbucks, Dunkin' or any other brand fan. He likes Melita (I think that's how you spell it) and thinks he makes it better than anyone else. Me, I'd rather have hot chocolate! Good shot though- enjoy your coffee!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love how sunny this feels.

[Yvonne]

Love the bokeh. My sisters are big Starbucks fans.

[Gillian]

Great advertising shot. Love the bokeh. I suppose I'll have to visit the States to find out what's so special about Starbucks ;)

[Jerri]

VERY effective advertising! the bokeh, the light and the all important iconic image!

[Rachel Withey]

Great advertising. I'm a big coffee fan but Starbucks ornaments - might need to see a picture of those. Close up on Sunday?

[Sue Wilde]

I'd love to say "What's Starbucks?".

[Jackie greenfield]

Mmmm my daughter loves Starbucks but her favourite is Costa, great bokeh :-)

[Dawn Moder]

I don't drink coffee. My three children drinks coffee and even my husband. They always left me out. lol Nice shot!

[Danette Thompson]

Pretty lighting.

[Katia]

Awesome!! :D The funny thing is, that bought a cup of tea at starbucks that morning to use it for advertising... but it didn´t work out the way i wanted.. so i used my lunch-snack.. :D But: great minds think alike! ;)

[Karen Mitchell]

We are the same way. I won't start with Christmas anything till December, so its pretty difficult to resist all marketing endeavours, which start the day after Halloween! Mmmm eggnog chai lattes are my favs.

[Lisa]

I have those same ornaments.....can't help it, I grew up in Seattle, and used to buy wholesale before retail outlets, and ground the beans in a blender. This shot is ICONIC!

[Caryn]

This just makes me so happy.

[colie (Nichole Stewart)]

Great advertising wonderful light and bokeh

[Kate Klinck]

oh no now i want a gingerbread latte!! Great shot!
