This was one of those live and learn moments. The DQ was very unintentional. I added the smoke from in front instead of the back and had to fix the cup with a little cloning. Not allowed. I'm so mad at myself I could scream. But, lesson learned. Thanks to everyone who voted before the DQ!
Disqualification Details
You may not use ANY editing tool to move, remove or duplicate any element of your photograph that would change a typical viewer's description of the photograph (aside from color), even if the tool is otherwise legal, and regardless of whether you intended the change when the photograph was taken.
In this particular case, the incense stick you used to produce the steam was judged too major an element to remove, especially considering its position prominently balanced on the rim of the cup.
Robt.
