Beautiful, Steven!! Wonderful clarity!! #4506815Sherrye Nozaki July 14, 2007
I'll drink to that! No really, this is very professionally done. I'm impressed:) #4509444Steven E. Ray July 14, 2007
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. #4509460Sherrye Nozaki July 15, 2007
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. #4510967Steven E. Ray July 15, 2007
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. #4511013Jennifer L. Alder July 15, 2007

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 #4534834Daniella Puente July 28, 2007
