Light painted with a flashlight pointed down a bit to illuminate the tea and steam a bit. Think this is the first time I've selectively desaturated an entry. Cropped, resized, sharpened, adjusted levels, cloned-out shadow of the tea pot spout on the backdrop, selectively de-saturated, added border.

Really like the color of the tea. The highlight on the tea really makes it jump out, perhaps too much compared to the rest of the image. It causes the back of the cup and the handle to really stand out from the front of the cup and the tea pot.
