This is my first shot with my new 350XT and Alien Bees strobes. I'm loving them so far!
In this shot, I'm just pouring green tea from an iron pot into a Japanese teacup on a white foamboard. I can't wait until after the challenge so that I can spot edit some of the glare, but I'm really happy that I was able to shoot at 1/200 second and f/22 in my house with these new lights - whee!

Thought this would score higher. Very clean shot. I may be partial to asian themes because of living in Okinawa 8 years. Congrats on a nice finish anyway.
such a lovely composition, with rich earthy pieces. i feel that the whiteness of the background actually detracts from the picture, because it weakens the feel of the pottery and ironware. i would be interested in seeing the background in a different color, to add more visual weight and add to the earthiness of the piece.
