Lazy Saturday Mornings waiting for my tea to steep. This is my favorite mug. It makes me smile because it is whimsical and fun. I hope you can see the steam rising from the top. :)

I darkened a tad in post processing. Resized and sharpened for upload.

thank you for your comments, critiques, and workshops.

I like this Lisa! The tilt does it for me! It adds interest, the close crop also gets us up close for the details! I like the blue, of course! Good job....how you been?? I need to call you sometime...chit chat....you know, like the old days when I wasn't running like a chicken!

Hi Lisa,
it really attracts me to click the thumbnail version.
Nice composition with great colors.

Hello Lisa,
I have to admit I love your favorite cup! The angle you chose to show us your light side is perfect with the multi hued face, and it reminds me of one of my favorite songs when I was playing the piano, do you recall this, "Send In the Clowns!"
Here is a few lines from the song, "Whjere are the clowns? Send in the clowns. Just when I'd stopped opening doors, Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours, Making my entrance again with my usual flair, Sure of my lines, No one is there."
So tell us Lisa, does your cup have you? Or, do you have the clown?
I'll wait for your most well thought reply, though it may be tomarrow night when I can read it...
Excellent image there Lisa, but an answer is due me now.....

good !!!!!!

Hi, Lisa -
This one is great! Love the fun tilt which really sets this image apart. The shallow DOF produces a great effect with sharpness on the face and smooth blur surrounding it. Bright colors and a very pleasant feel. Great work!

Hello Lisa

This is my favorite too !! So colorful mug.
Nice focus on it. I really enjoy the pov, so clever idea Lisa.

Happy work, great result.
Kind regards

The crazy angle really adds humour to an already humorous image -- great idea.
Good strong colours are well captured

Hi Lisa,
Oh Saturdays ,hum , best time of the week to get lazy , myself included , hi hi, for you what better time to relax with a cup of coffee sipped from your favorite mug , the slant makes this interesting , the colors on the mug are vividly punchy , no squinting here ,well done , would make me want to start drinking coffee , but i'll refrain , fruit juice is better , he he ,cutely presented ,
Tfs my friend,
Carol

Hi Lisa - this is Big, Bold and Brash with some strong colours in there....I do like this image, but have some niggly things to suggest...

I like the angle, but I think it's a little too moch for my tastes. I wish the full lips were in shot. And I think I'd like a little more context, maybe by stepping back a little or zooming out a touch - there seems to be some nice depth of field plays there and I'd like to see more of that. Finally, don;t see the point of the signature, I find it distracting.

Sorry for all that, on balance I do like this very much, especially the crop at the top right with the handle of the mug. Nice shot!
