Description Cha-do is Japanese and means "Way of Tea". It is strongly influenced by Zen and meant to be one way besides others to satori, i.e. enlightenment. Savoring tea in a true Zen spirit requires a calm and serene atmosphere. With this shot I tried to capture a glimpse of that.

For the curious: the tea in the foreground is "Tian Shan Yin Hao", a delicious white tea.




I have to say that I like the overall atmosphere and composition of this photo, nevertheless I am not altogether satisfied with the present outcome. I'd like to hear your opinion on the picture in general and maybe some of the following aspects in particular.
1) Retrospectively I came to belief that the DoF is too shallow. It would have been nice if the cup had been a bit sharper. I should have increased the f-stop.
2) What do you think of the color of the tea in focus? Maybe it's too dark?

Please leave a comment and help me to improve.

*lacht* Was soll ich alter Mann denn sagen? Ich muss mir für alles Erinnerungen schreiben. Ich bitte um Mitleid.
Ich muss jetzt übrigens erst nochmal ganz kurz mit meinem Hund raus. Bin gleich wieder da...
