Description

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

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
