I had fun with this one. I've been wanting to do a food shoot lately. The hardest part was getting the steam to look good. Just couldn't keep the pot hot long enough. Finally dumped the water out and lit some pieces of paper on fire and tossed them into the kettle. Most of the shots then looked like smoke but this one looked more like steam. The lighting was from a window.

I think this picture is great and should have done much better in this challenge. I really like the lighting and colors. I think people did not take enough time to really appreciate this picture when they were voting.
Wow! Look at that beautiful steam! Even though this is a busy image, it seems like everything has it's place here. I like it. Wonderful reflection of the window and the tea stuff in the kettle.
Oh wow that really is great, it conveys such a cosy feeling (and I would really like a cup of hot tea with biscuits now!), even if the real highligh here is the smoke coming out the teapot more that the reflection, but I dont'care, I score according to the photo itself more that the strict following of the contest theme, therefore it's 9 for me.
I was tempted to dismiss this as cluttered, but then Victorian era settings did have a lot going on. This photo evoked that sensibility for me and tells a story. Well done! I am glad I gave pause for your vision.
