Hi everyone...

Moroccan tea pots have long, curved pouring spouts and this allows the tea to be poured evenly into tiny glasses from a height. To acquire the optimum taste, glasses are filled in two stages. The Moroccans traditionally like tea with bubbles, so while pouring they hold the teapot high above the glasses.

I did very little to this photo, as the waiter placed the teapot under a lantern which cast wonderful light onto the teapot...

*** Sharpened
*** Framed

I didn't use a tripod, and had minimal light so it's not as sharp and crisp as I'd like it :( but to me, it's my reminder and souvenier of Morocco... :)

Thanks for visiting,

Ursula

Hi Ursula
I love this composition. The colors are rich and the light is warm and natural. The details on the tea pot are very sharp and I love the rich texture of the copper as well as the pattern of the surface of the table.
Nicely done

Hi Ursula!

Wonderful capture.. as usual.
Excellent exposure, shades and hues. Composition and lighting is also superb.

Considering the absence of a tripod for this shot..the sharpness is almost perfect.

Hope you enjoyed your stay in Morocco...Good job!

It's a lovely shot - the lighting works very well, and all the colour tones blend so well. I love the wonderful shape of the teapot, how much more beautiful it is than it's moderm equivalents.

Hi Ursula
I did a bit of brousing in your gallery and my, my there are MANY impressive images. Your eye for color is outstanding. Your selection of the elements of this image is impressive. The colors in the BG and FG reallyt set off the item.
