Description Lately I've been obsessed with these kind of photos which feature teacups and books in combination with my favorite: flowers. I know it's already such a cliche but I like it...
I hope you'll enjoy this photo (and the upcoming ones of the same theme) because I surely enjoyed making it. The smell of the tea was mesmerizing (it didn't taste as nearly as good though)

Shot with Canon 450D and Canon EFS 18-55mm

I must say, this is one of the most original and most beautiful photographs I have ever seen.
The use of light, color, placement, and editing in this photo are incredible. Not to much here, not to much there, it all balances out.
It almost looks as if the cup is floating off the book, as if it were in a dream like state. I think it is amazing that you captured that, without it looking fake or edited. This entire image has a calm, peaceful, and dreamy feeling, and the colors definitely support it. The choice tone of pink you used is perfect; not to vibrant and not to soft.
Everything about this picture is balance. It's all "just right".
The only thing that I would point out would be the "lipton" tea" label. I know it would be hard to find a blank tea label, seeing a name brand like that just jumps out as "advertising", and that's the last thing I want people to think of when seeing this gorgeous shot.

So, my only advice would be:
Find a blank tea label, or edit the name brands out of the photo!

This has a nice cozy, comforting feeling. I needed a photo for a packaging redesign for herbal tea (for a class) & decided to use this. [link]
It was exactly what I was looking for. : )

"perfect time" are the best words you could use for this pic. it's pleasant for the eyes (love the tiny flowers, love love love them!), for the nose, who imagines fruity scents from the tea the mouth desires (i tried it, too good).
