Something for the weekend -Part 21- A storm in a tea cup!

Hi
We've all heard, and probably used, the expression "a storm in a tea cup". I wonder what such a storm would look like. So for this weekend - I've provided the tea cup, or a least a 3D render of one, can you provide the storm?

As usual, anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

Anyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

You are not limited to Photoshop. Any software can be used e.g. Illustrator, After Effects, Character Animator, Excel.... well maybe not Excel, although there was a discussion in the lounge on an artist who used Excel for images.

There are no prizes - just the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun.

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side.

To download the image below without the forum scaling artefacts, right click and then use Save Image As / Save Picture As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun

Dave

    I'd not thought of hiding the reflection behind bubbles Jane.
    Iced tea Semaphoric. Nice idea - I didn't see that one coming

    It looks like the cup was swept away in the storm. Full disclosure - the whole thing, cup , sea , lightning, et all,  is a 3D model and render in Blender. I used Photoshop to tweak the final composite.
