    The handle of my mug was bugging me I just didn't like the way it looked so I studied the hand of the hard edged mug and I made my mugs handle a little more hefty and less noodle like lol. I also adjusted the perspective of the floor to better suit my mugs perspective.

    @ Gare -- Thanks! Have a happy day too!

    @ Frances -- Those look great, and I especially like the changes you made in the last image with the cup and the added texturing for walls and wood! I sure wish I could drink that hot chocolate!

    Played with the beachball background this time, trying different colorations, adding some sand on it and switching the ball & light angle...
