Girl after my own heart! (well I'm not a coffee drinker, but I am a devotee of the Starbucks Signature Caramel Hot Chocolate!)
I like the colours and composition - the contrast of white bags and black background's a good idea! (you've heard of chiaroscuro, right? That springs to mind here).
Helen, I, too, am not a coffee drinker, though my husband is. Still, every Sunday morning, before church, we go to Starbucks for coffee (for him) and either hot choc. or a vanilla creme for me. Mmmmm.
I had NOT heard of chiaroscuro, but I went out on the Internet and educated myself a bit. I see why you applied it here.
Don't you wonder what people are thinking when we whip our cameras out to get a shot for a theme in a public place like this? I see people look at me like "what's the big deal about the postcard rack" ha ha. nice compostition here.
Deb, YES! I'm always a little embarrassed when I take a picture of something in public, especially something that no one else would consider a subject for a snapshot. But, I'm getting over it! I think you have to, in order to do all 366 themes in a year!
The general idea of this challenge is to take 366 pictures during the year 2008, each one depicting one of the themes listed below. The themes can be taken in random order, and the pictures don't absolutely have to be one per day. If you miss posting a picture one day, it can be made up. The bottom line is that you post 366 pictures spread out over the year and covering all 366 themes.

Excellent composition, Linda. And admit, I love Starbucks...

Great angle. Colours are wonderful too, suggesting a warm wonderful ambience supping coffees, chatting and relaxing.
Love coffee shops, never used to until the arrival of Costa, Starbucks and the like.
