re-submitted photo that i posted a couple of days ago. i noticed a slight error and it was buggin the hell outta me. so i had to fix it.

so this is probably my first heavily editted photo. i was having a cup of tea a while back and noticed the light hitting the 'steam' coming off my tea. thought it looked cool so got the camera and shot a couple of shots. looking at them later i realised that the background sucked so set about cutting out the tea and pasting it onto a black background. the hardest part was making it look like i hadn't just pasted it in, i.e. fading the black background close to the cup.

this is the result. hope you enjoy it.

since ps editting is not my strong point comments and critique would be appreciated. thanks.

technical details:
---------------------
camera: canon G3
shutter speed: 1/60s
aperture: f/2.0
ps: lots

You have done a fine job with the image, may we recommend darkening the background to black next time? It has a better effect and does not result in the 'cut out' look. A lovely image nonetheless, and it seems one of our Eggs likes it as well!

Looks great! The steam has a very ephemeral feel to it.
