Cold, rainy weather needs hot chocolate. Enjoying it with a sweet Christmas bouquet that Tina gave me.

As for the picture, by the end of the day I still had not taken a picture, so I tried this. It would have been better if the hot chocolate had been steaming. But I had been messing around with different angles and backgrounds, so it was cooling off at this point. (Which actually is ideal for me since I always seem to burn my tongue on hot chocolate). I really need to learn more about white balance. I adjusted the color of this one in post-processing. It was much more yellow straight out of the camera. Of course, that is typical of indoor pictures. I actually like the yellow better as it feels warmer to me, but technically that would not be considered a good photo. I tried to make the white of the cup and flowers truer to white. There is always more to learn.
