It's hard to fault. But I'm going to try. I think what would make this work a whole lot better for me would be if the subject of the picture was sat in front of me.

Thanks, Strad. Unfortunately, I am no longer a tea drinker - no caffeine - but by the time that I finished taking this shot on a hot, sultry Sunday afternoon, it was stating to look pretty tempting, I have to admit.

Wonderful in every way apart from that.
Splendid.
Unfortunately, the ice would melt before I could get it to you. Otherwise, I would send you one.
Its hard to imagine something as simple as a glass of tea being the center of controversy. But sweet tea is such a tradition in the south that the Georgia state legislature tried to pass a law that all restaurants would be required to serve sweet tea.
It didn't go through but it did stir up a lot of "discussion" on what sweet tea really is in the south.
IMHO - In order to get the sweetness level and taste right the sugar has to be put into the hot tea and fully disolved before chilling it.

That looks sooo refreshing! Well done! The basil leaves
are a nice prop. What happened to the borders though?
Did you crop, rotate, and then filled in with black? I'd do
some cloning here or crop a bit tighter.
Now that's a sweet photo, Robert. But the tea is certainly over-sweet! I use just a teaspoon of honey in my tea - added to the hot water, with a good stir, before putting in the teabag. Must be a "Northern thing!"

Marc,
You have a very good eye. I had not notice the border caused by the crop, and thanks to you I have corrected it.

Thanks for the tip, Cal. I'll have to try that.

Love the shot! The falling sugar really adds to it
Still I am a little curious as to why you used basil as a prop?
I am honored to be the recipient of your first comment on the Miranda site. Thank you for the compliments. I used basil because Jane and I didn't have any mint in our limited herb garden and the ice was melting. You are very observant.

Ah, well conveniently the texture of the basil leaves does fit rather well there
Still, I couldn't help but wonder, when I first saw that, if you used basil in your tea which would probably create some strange flavors.
