About the Image(s)
This is a continuation of an improvement on a series. In the past I submitted the teapot of flowers pouring flowers, and titled it "Flower Tea". I decided that it needed a teacup. So I added in a photo of a Delft teacup that I had from the Netherlands, and created the flowers in the cup by stamping it. The stamp made them fuzzy and it looked to me like steaming.
ISO 1000, 90 mm, 1/250 sec. Infrared with 590 filter, added color artistic profile, blended two individual images (teapot and cup). Stamped the "tea" from the pot flowers into the cup in Photoshop. Darkened background using masks; added navy blue color with paint bucket.
