That’s a GREAT photo! It’s really artistic, and I love the muted tones. It has a great ‘wee small hours’ feel to it, too.
Thanks Jay!
Very nice! You’re way more artist at 3am than I am ,lol!
Truly, boredom can inspire weird things!
very nice! Soft into focus..
Thanks.
Wow! Never in life did I expect to say this about a cup and saucer, but that is *beautiful*!
Why, thank you.
Very classy! superb as always.
Thanks Juan!
what a great shot insomnia is great sometimes,,,!
Agreed
love the focus of it !
Hey Bonnie! Thanks.
Lol I was up at 3am, unable to sleep, but I stayed in bed!
Great lighting and pretty shot, especially with the bokeh!
Thanks Ari.
Wonderfully observed, like a shot from a brochure of magazine with such delicate and detailed work.
Thank you. It was a fun shot to do.
great, nice bohek
Thanks Andreas.

such colors !
May i get one tea please ?
Bien à toi !
Yes, Bernard, anything for you!
Awesome！！
Love the bokeh!
U sure have a clean and tidy kitchen! =D
I am a clean freak, and it bugs people to no end sometimes.
too fun! I got a 50mm Nikor 1.8 for Christmas and am loving the bokeh I’m getting with it – your pictures always inspire me!
Congrats on the lens Emily. There is something quite special about a 50mm (especially on a cropped sensor).
Beautiful photographic achievement, beautiful light, beautiful, bravo!
Thanks!
Eh, I don’t get this. You couldn’t sleep, got out of bed and made your self a cup of coffee? I wonder how many more 03.00 am macro shots we can expect to show up here. Nevertheless, another great photo! Like the others already said, cool bokey, colors and composition. Now, get some sleep
I never said I made a cup of coffee. I just got obsessed with taking a shot of the saucer and cup.
Love the lighting, that is a coll blue hue. Sometimes the middle of the night can be very creative.
Agreed. <3
This is just stunning, everything is perfect.
Glad you like it Sarah.
I see you made the most of your insomnia – inspiring!
Sweet dreams!

Thanks for stopping by!
Love your bokeh. It’s 3 am do you know where you bokeh is? :~)
LOL!
I agree with above poster. This looks like an advertisement.
Very nice. May I ask what was the lighting source?
Craig
Hey Craig. The light came from a lamp with a 60 watt bulb placed on the countertop near the cup and there was also light from the overhead fixtures in the kitchen.
Great shot for in the middle of the night. I like the bokeh and the colors!
Thank you!
So calm and inviting. Looks like a lovely time of reflection and relaxing.
Thanks Sherri.
Such perfect simplicity. Love the light..the surprise bokeh coming from the faucet. Very creative!!!
Thanks Marcie.
wow! you do good work at 3AM ! very cool !
I sincerely do my best work AT NIGHT
I love this shot! Came here after the comment you left the other day on my blog and got interrupted before I completed the comment… it is really wonderful… so artistic and bokeh perfectly balances the cup and saucer. (Thanks for stopping by my blog and dropping such nice comments!)
Thank YOU for stopping by Victoria!
Soft and sober! Great picture!
Well thank you!
after this great result you know why you could not sleep ! beauty shows up at any time
Thanks for stopping by
3AM. Photo looks great. Bokeh can make (or break) a photo. Nice job.
Thank you. Yes, you’re right about bokeh, I should know, I’m a bokeh-holic.
Love the warm and the cool tones in the picture.. Beautiful capture you got there..!
Thanks – it’s one of my favorites!
I love hanging out with all you learned folks here. I had to look up what bokeh was. I may not know all the technicalities, but I know what I like and I like this! I love the mood this photo conveys. Nice colors too!
Thank you. I have only been shooting for a year and a half, so I know there’s lots to learn.
That is so beautiful, romantic, and poetic — words fail, because this photo is worth 1000 of them
Love it!!!!!
Thank you Albina.
One of my favourite subjects, love cups and saucers, lovely shot.
Thanks, this is one of my favorite still life shots.
