Default Tea in Fall

2007-10-19RedSafariSpice0013-6

A photo of one of my favorite hobbies: tea. Somehow the composition worked out to really appeal to my eyes. The tea was glumped in the center and I made a lazy, half-hearted effort to move it around, and a really nice spiral came out. I grabbed a leaf, took a picture, and now I have one of the few shots out of my substantial collection of "blah" that I'd be proud to print out and frame.

Any criticisms welcomed, of course.

Hi Daruma,

I just checked out your photo and I think it looks nice as well. the spiral is very appealing and I like the red-brown of the tea against the whit plate. The red leaf also adds some color

Very nice. A rather unique perspective on a still life. I like it.

I really like the colors and the contrast against the plate. You half-hearted effort is very appealing to my eyes. BTW, I love tea as well. Nice job!
