Hi
This is a shot taken in September when going on a four day trip to Chongqing. Very busy city with terrible taxi drivers so in contrast this peaceful picture.
Two weeks ago somebody bought a print of this just because she bought these cups ;)
Cheers
David

die doen me denken aan de theetassen die iedere dag opnieuw voor de keizer gemaakt werden Ze werden uit het vuur gehaald en direct in water afgekoeld. de juiste beaming ontsnapt me.
dank David

Interesting, eyecatching subject. The stark light source creates a strong chiaroscurro effect that is perfect for a shot like this.

The only issue I have is that while it 'starts' well, it ends badly with the cups just running out of the right hand side of the frame, leaving it feeling quite messy. A visible end to the arrangement of cups, or even a fade out into shdow, would work better IMO.

Hi David,
I like this one, the diagonal works very well, and the lighting suits the subject.
Nice detail to be seen on every cup, well done. I would crop a little more off the top, just get rid of the extra negative space....IMO.
Seasons greetings to you and yours,
Pete.

Hi David, Very effective indeed. The repitition gives this a great feel. TFS. Murray.

Een eenvoudige compo maar eentje dat werkt.
Misschien bovenaan toch nog een stukje horizontaal wegsnijden
zodat je diagonaal sterker wordt ?

'k Zal achtereen toch een m'n stoute schoenen moeten aantrekken en dan ook eens gaan fotograferen in een lingeriewinkel misschien val ik dan ook wel in de prijzen ... >:-)

Groetjes

I like the composition and the repetitive pattern of the cups - excellent POV which makes the most of a very simple subject matter.
Thanks for sharing, and have a great 2009.

Nice use of repetition and diagonal here.
Nice shadows into the distance. TFS. Karin
