Hot Tea


	Hot Tea 1/40 sec. @f/4. I used the paint brush, distort/wave, and gaussian blur to create the steam for tea. Anita Hogue

I think the steam really helps this image be effective. Nice pottery too!

Really nice still-life. The steam really makes it. A nice "Spot of Tea" as they say in England :-) My Mom is English, and they served her iced tea once many years ago. To this day, she will ask for HOT tea in restaurants
