 According to a legend, Emperor Shen Nung of China was boiling water when some leaves from a nearby tree fell into his pot, making the first tea. This image is a tribute to that moment, in the background you can see a silver sword sheath and a silver ceremonial pot, the foreground is um.. the only tea I could find that wasnt in a bag. :) I move the overall level a bit to get some depth in color.

This is a beautiful image. Wonderful color treatment w/ the yellow on orange/red. ONLY complaint is would like to see greater depth of field for bigger circles of confusion in the background to pop out the foreground a bit more. Would like the whole foreground to be in focus - brush away those leaves in the front! There is some purple in the top left corner that would have been an excellent contrast to the colors in the front. I can almost smell the tea...mmmmmmmmmm. (8)
