OMG!

but the picture is fine, bravo

Good ole K.D. - good shot

That's a keeper. Great kettle

i think kettle is smoking...

beautifu.. as a painting

Wonderful!

Cool set up and capture of the steam.

Great Picture, well done

Once again congrats. Beautiful. This was tougher contest than I though it would be especially since I don't even have a tea pot. It was worth it just to see the steam engines.

congrats!!!! amazing comp and very well captured steam , love the shine on the handle and kettle has a lovely texture.

I guess its a little off theme....its a house to water i guess...

Why is this home? and you don't need to keep saying "The only photo manipulation done was .." it tends to identify you. General details really aren't needed.

Things cooking on the stove could certainly signify "home," but water? It does tend to identify you if you say the same comment on each description... but not as much as your signature in the lower right. That need to be removed as per the rules. Entries must be anonymous.

Gotcha. I was adding that because when you enter it you're supposed to list all the manipulations you did, aren't you? That's that it said. Anyway, to me there's nothing that represents home to me more than cooking.

?

Cooking is homely, but boiling water?

i understand what you guys are saying, i guess i just boil a lot of stuff at my home... tea, vegetables, fruit, etc., maybe not everyone else does.

Maybe if you showed the tea bags, a tea cup, or something else that told us why boiling water is home, the image would be more effective... but, you are indeed right, the idea is subjective!

author, it is your interpretation, stick with it............good effort.

Ade... and that is the beauty of "subjectiveness"!
