I'll drink to that! No really, this is very professionally done. I'm impressed:) #4509444

Thanks everyone. This was challenge. Of course real alcohol would have melted the ice in no time, not to mention the 1200 watts of lighting. The table edge was whited out in back, white paper was the backdrop. The rest is light positioning and color. Aperture Priority. #4509460

Interesting that real alcohol melts the ice faster. I don't drink alcohol so I'm clueless. Anyway, what is Arabi tea? Just my curiosity. Thanks. #4510967

In Saudi Arabia, Arabic (I left "c" off title) tea is a staple custom to entertain vistors. The tea is rich in color and has herbal flavoring that comes in many variations. I buy it locally at MCL cafeterias in tea bag form. Stronger than American varieties. #4511013

Steven...WOW! What an artful image. I LOVE this! Just perfect in every way. The lighting and reflection is beautiful and I like the way the cubes look almost abstract. The one little bubble on the surface gives extra interest. Well done...Lynn #4534834
