Congratulations Tyler! Beautiful shots, both of yours. Nice idea to have great artwork as a backdrop. If you'd like to tell us a little about your photos, I would be interested in hearing about it. A job well done!

Thanks, everyone!

I am so excited to have won. The other three shots chosen for the poll are all very nice--which makes winning a real honor. I especially liked the depth of field on both fullsack and pjizzy's photos.

I took the winning picture in my house last Christmas after getting the mou cups as a present that morning. A local artist painted the picture in the background for our dining room. You can't tell from the photo, but the painting is of a really large pear. I arranged the cups to mimic the bowls in the background, to draw the eye into the photo, and to provide a sense of movement and frivolity; and I think the set up captures the unique aspects of these handleless cups.

I was inspired to take pictures of my cups by flickr photos from Mark Prince (of coffee geek). If he had entered this contest he surely would have won because his photos are all so cool. I will probably choose the black terra keramic cups, like the one in pjizzy's pic, as the prize because they look so classy. I'll post a photo of them for everyone when they arrive.

Here are some pictures of the cups. Sorry it took so long to get the pictures up. Terra sent the cups the week after the contest ended, but right after that, I got married and have been very busy planning, traveling and moving in the interim. Thanks to Terra for sponsoring this contest! Their products are first class.

What a lame excuse.

Seriously though, congratulations on the cups. Oh, yeah, and on the wedding thing.

I have two white terra keramik cups but I also love the black ones....well, I like the other colors too...but especially the white and black.

Nice photos of your new cups...congrats!
