Martine and Jon, thanks so much for your comments. This was taken at this year's Cherry Blossom Festival in Japan Center San Francisco. This elegant hand belongs to the most senior of the tea servers.

Thanks Ingrid for your comment. My favorite aspect of this image is the drop on the ladle.

I must confess, I fell in love with this one at first view. this picture gives me a special sensation of calm and elegance.

Thank you calisto. The woman who owns these hands and the skill to do the tea ceremony is more elegant than I can portray in an image.

No comment on this one, what a shame.
I appreciate the framing, the focus on this simple gesture. In this gesture, you captured centuries of tradition.
The black and white technic, as usual, is perfect. Congrats again, Mark. :)
