The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, by Douglas Adamsby
Osiris1975Comment by Osiris1975: Thank you all for your comments! It is exciting to have done so well on my first entry. I'm a newbie, though, so I am going to put out my fair share of rubbish while I hone my skills.
@Posthumous and ubique, thank you for the awards.
@Tiny and Mariuca, I did in fact take it as a complement that you thought this was the work by another. So thanks again.
@jpanguluri, would love your thoughts on what poses you felt might work better. I'm always receptive to constructive criticism, it is why I'm here in the first place.
@dali_lama_2k, it is like you said, given the choice between embracing title and subject matter, I went for title. If there is ever another book challenge, I'll definitely see if I can figure something out that embraces both.
@cinnabear, I'll end up in the dog house if I tell my wife she looks like Cousin It in this photo :) Thank you for your kind comments about the composition. :)
@tanguera, yes, I really did float a watch in the tea. Well, it wouldn't float, so I stuffed the tea-cup with paper towels first, lol. I originally wanted a reflection of a watch and not the watch itself, but I couldn't get that to work out.
Out of curiosity, did anyone notice:
1) The crease in the right bottom corner in the table cloth, and if so, did it annoy you? It annoys me!
2) The 'easter-egg' for anyone familiar with "Queen's Tea Time"?
