simple & elegant though the combination of the angle the photo was taken at and the shallow depth of field make me a bit nauseous. this because my eyes try to get both the front and the far end of the cup's rim in focus at the same time (like they would succeed in doing in real life). so please do not take that makes me a bit nauseous as an insult cause all you did that you've made my eyes/brain belief that there is a real cup of tea placed on my monitor.
Thank you everyone. This was fun to shoot, and best of all you get to consume your props.
Vincent: Oh my, sorry for the nausea. I see what you mean though; the angle does fool the mind and scrambles the brain a bit. I recommend you drink a cup of mint tea; it calms the stomach. Really! Thanks for your feedback and nice comments.
