My get-pushed-partner this week, Ashley, gave me the challenge to make a monochrome picture.
When Mark made me a cup of coffee at lunch time I looked at it and thought that's a lot of browns together: the rusty table, the coffee, the trees in the background. That might make a good monochrome. I used Picasa for a sepia colour and a little bit of tuning (shadows). The coffee colour is pretty much the same colour as the original image.
