You are making these beans look so photogenic! Love this still life. These could hang in a coffee shop!

Lovely shot

Looks pretty yummy- I agree with Taffy- this could hang in a coffee shop (save that thought for the bonus days at the end of June for "Hang it all"!)

I'm your get pushed partner for next week! Woo Hoo!
So I have two challenge options for you - both to hopefully inspire creativity & fun!

Disclaimer - if these cause panic attacks and you don't know what to do - let me know and I will give you another much more soothing challenge for you -

Option 1) Create an Albllum or book title:
Go to http://www.quotationspage.com/ and hit 'random quotes' on the left. The last 4-6 words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your album. OR select the 4-5 last words of any quote on that page.
Now go take a photo that fits with your album or book!

Option 2)
Make an egg character(s) and be creative https://www.google.com/search?q=egg+characters&biw=1777&bih=861&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=9V5qVdDMM8GWyATEiYLwBQ&sqi=2&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&dpr=0.9

Let me know your thoughts.

mmmmm coffee beans :)

Lovely still life. Love the colors of the beans, and the great textures on the table. FAV
I love the smell of coffee beans, I love the smell when they are freshly ground, which really is confusing why I really hate coffee and always have. I've never even like coffee flavored anything. Very strange when I like the smell. But I don't like the smell of it brewing and maybe that is where my issue like. But you have created a great shot

@olivetreeann I have a whole selection all ready for Hang it all. Of all the pictures I took whilst playing with the beans, this was the one I thought fitted the bill the least!
May 31st, 2015  
You are rocking with these beans!

@myhrhelper both of these challenges sound rather cool. I have done a few album covers before but not a book, so that's a thought. I have never done an egg character so I'll definitely give that a go. I will get your challenge up today, need to give it some thought.

Looks like you are having such amazing fun with these coffee beans. The textured background in this is wonderful and adds such mood to the shot.
I cannot wait to see which ones you choose for Hang It All!

Love the focus! All your bean shot have been great.

Great focus Sally

awesome Sally, this is truly inspiring, might just join you, as I too am running out of ideas with winter

@vegansusan thanks Susan. Interestingly I love coffee but find many of the coffee flavoured products unpleasant. To me they often don't have a real coffee taste and are often quite sweet.
