Experimented with food coloring to get something close to coffee color. I let it set up, and then I took out a hammer. When I imagined this shot the cup was broken but the jello remained intact. This shot was my first attempt and the jello just broke apart with the cup. So, I soaked my backup cup in warm water before breaking it -- hoping the jello would separate from the cup easier. But it turned the whole thing to mush. Oh, well. This one didn't turn out too bad.

That table is pretty cool too. blindjustice Canon EOS-60D Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di for Canon 10/06/2015 07:46:02 PM The cracked background definitely makes this. Nice work. grahamgator Nikon D600 Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED 10/06/2015 07:41:48 PM Getting better and better. tate Nikon D300 Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D 10/05/2015 03:32:15 PM I wonder if putting a little oil on the inside of the cup before the jello would do what you wanted. Regardless, this was pretty cool =) Ivory Canon EOS-300D Rebel Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 10/05/2015 01:48:32 PM Congratulations on your HM.

Very creative, especially with the addition of the "broken" background/table. The texture definitely helps the feel of the image.

The background is nicely harmonious. Good title.
