I heard my partner laughing and found he was looking at this. It's so funny! I like the mug with the flower, The image shows just how carefully it was thought out. shu

Wow Nico, you are still popping the great ones out!

Glad you liked it! :-) Many thanks to my eldest son for assisting with the shoot: it is hard to know where one is actually pouring the stuff when one's head is flat on the table! :-) Yes, eric, I have to confess, the water + paint mixture was too dark... but it was far too messy to re-shoot! Barry, I used a very large softbox camera right, a large white reflector camera left and a flash directly onto the white background to blow that out completely. I think when I give you a link to the "original" which I used as basis from which to work ( yes, even the flower included!), you will see why I still like katie's version a million times more:http://www.flickr.com/photos/katielee/3175609974 Thanks for the kind remarks, guys. Regards Nico

Beautiful light Nico - a real master indeed, keeping separation between all those white objects and a white background - Very well done! -Barry

Yes, Nico is scary good. For the longest time I thought that being a professional photographer was his gig anyhow....so of course Nico was a natural. But I have studied Nico's pbase site pretty well and...no...he's just a happy amateur. That's why I say he's scary good....he is a natural, without even working at it....just Nico, Genius. Best Wishes, Traveller

It's shots like this that makes me either want to put my camera down and stop trying or it makes me want to try harder and wonder how. There is a lot going on here that is just absolutely right.

LOL, Nico. Why are you so shy? You're very handsome. I love this, though. So well done... as usual. ~Lydia
