I chose to re-shoot my images for colour, paying more attention to the coloured cups I used the first time.

Camera Settings:
I used a Nikon D7200 with a 18-55mm lens, the camera was set to aperture priority. I set it to F/8 to keep the focus on the coffee not the table cloth, with 1/60 seconds exposure and ISO 100 for sharp images. Even though I had the camera on a tripod and a remote release the camera still shook, blurring the image. I could have lowered the exposure but that would have darkened the image when I'd already set it to the brightness. Instead of changing the exposure I forced the flash as the subject was too far away to be effected and the exposure too long to be altered by the flash. Thus eliminating camera shake.
Images that need improvement:
D723482:
The cup in this image is too far away, next time I will look at the feedback on the camera and improve the framing by hand. I will do this either by moving the camera or the tripod.
D723541:
The framing in this image is also poor, I purposely experimented with changing the framing as I wanted to see the best angle for these shots.
My Best Images:
I improved my images with Photoshop:
First applied a warm filter as the image was too cool:
Next, as the image was still too dark I changed the exposure level slightly, I was happy with how this image looked.
However, for some of my other shots I also changed the curves to change the contrast.
