fantastic concept… and my fav colours too….ornage & blue
Looks great Bee! I really liked the warmth in the first one:)
Both the pics are lovely yet so different!.. :love:
~ Siri
Both pics are fabulous!! :yes:
First one has got romance and coziness written all over at the same time!!!
Love the colors in both pictures.
I love the first one Bee
The second one is awesome too but the top part (sky) is taking up too much space in the pic. just a layman’s feedback, of course i am not qualified enough to judge a pic THAT WAY
Nice picture of soup.
I wonder what it would look like if the fire and the near bowl were in focus and the far bowl was not. You probably have to take two pictures and merge them… just idle speculation.
But wherever did you guys get a 500mm f1.4? I think that should be 50mm f1.4?
oops typo! good catch…
Love the first picture.
Like the bowl and the soup
Bee was Jai bringing you the tea and the paper in the morning like a good husband
Oh What a life I am jealous. Some girls have all the
I meant to write luck and fun
Gorgeous pictures both! love the warmth of the first one!
beautiful pics bee
The fireplace and the two bowls in line… it’s one of the most beautiful pictures I’ve ever seen! Looks like Perfection and cozyness! I love it!!!
Love them both. The composition for both shots are exceptional!
absolutely gorgeous. Love it!
Beautiful shots – I particularly love the first one.
great pictures. what earthy tones in the first. the soup looks so inviting. and love the perspective of the sky and the snow, the blue of the sky such a great background for the snow… :horn:
:bow: to bee
:bow: to jai
Lovely soup pic, Bee. :yes:
I love them both! and the name for the post could not have been more perfect.
Love the first picture. its so warm and ‘feelgood’.
I would have liked the second one more if the sky was not so clear… but i guess thats the idea… such clear and bright sky together with snow. hmm…
I thought I missed the deadline fir the click event… will attempt an entry by the 30th
The soup photo is wonderful, it conveys such a tranquil and comfy atmosphere! This surely would be a winner!
Hi Bee,
I’ve just blogged about my failed attempts at shooting hot beverages. Luckily, I’ve got one more week to go because I’d like to submit something decent..;-)

Fire and Ice hummmm so have you visited it in Mumbai?
The pictures reflect so much abot you two. The warm hearted but fiery in opinion Bee and Jai witht the crystal clear thoughts. Is my guess right?
Loved both the pictures.
Jai just a suggestion try cropping the sky off just where the clouds start this will make that picture look better. I just tried it here and am sharing it with a friend.
