Oooopppsss.....Tempest In A Teacup?
by J-Me

Comment:
After a long day of work, Earl was exhausted! All he wanted to do was go have a cup of tea, relax, and go to bed. Earl gathered everything and sat down at the table. He closed his eyes for a moment, and everything went black. He opened his eyes noticed his tea and accompaniments were just floating in a big black void. It was like everything was going to tilt to the left and fall just past his lap. He rubbed his eyes, figuring that he had to be dreaming. He looked again and saw that his tea was now rising out of the cup. Good lord, he thought, I've got to stop going to the bar before the long drive home! Earl sat there for a few moments, trying to figure out what to do. He reached for one of the sugar cubes to chew on, but the whole cup managed to stay beyond his grasp. He kept reaching and stretching but could never quite get it. He cried, layed his head on the table, and fell asleep. When Earl awoke the next morning, everything was sitting before him, just as he had arranged it. The tea was in the cup, the pears were in the tin, and the sugar cubes were right in front of his nose.

So are you going to grab the sugar cubes this time? I hope so, you know I have my fingers crossed for you that one of your photos will get the score recognition that it deserves. Best of luck and I hope you land a personal best! :D

This is a very pretty shot, with the changing leaf and vine colors, but I don't see the motion part. Unless the background is falling water?

Floating or Falling?

Very pretty and looks great in black and white. I love the floating/falling idea conveyed here.

Great idea for the shot. Love the placement of colors to convey the sense of motion. The red fence is a great background color. (7)

Still life on the street - love the idea. The umbrella colors really jump out of the picture!

I almost missed the ball. How on earth did you catch it like that? Can't wait to see if this gets hammered per the definition of still life but I like it. I think it's pretty cool! (7)
