I love tea, and I love the concept here. It actually made me smile looking at this shot. I gave it a seven, so that's a good score I think, but I would have gone higher if not for the background (as raish was speaking of).

This is a very fresh idea. I think maybe (if you were the sort of votes hawk that spends massive amounts of time and energy setting up shots) that it could me more effective against either a blurred out (bokeh) window/garden background or just a landscape picture of some sort, as well as the whole thing being stood up vertical - tea bags fixed somehow - with the rainbow more like a twelve o' clock to three o' clock quadrant and the honey pot inside it but less central. Maybe any old background would do, but preferably less intrusive/less in focus. I'm just thinking the effect could be a little lighter and airier (?) with a sort of off centre orientation.

Don't mind me, just thinking out loud.

Raish, thank you for an excellent idea. Where were you when I needed you. I shot this photo in a room using available light from a picture window overlooking a Lake Superior beach. It was taken on a desk with a scotch tape dispenser on it. Why didn't I think of taping the tea bags to the window? *bangs head on wall*

This is a very interesting idea.

I noticed that the pot is not straight and the outside packets are cut off. Otherwise very good.

Not sure about the composition

Interesting idea. Only compliant is that the honey looks a big soft focus to me.

:-) I really like your image. It's different, refreshing, nicely composed. Perhaps the lighting is a bit harsh around the honey jar, but there's something about your photo that makes me smile. Good luck in the challenge.

nice and simple set up - good work - the lighting is a little too low for my taste (the shadows are too significant on the tea bags)

I find this picture to be lacking interest in terms of composition and objects.. may be placing them less conventionally would have improved the picture..
