We had an elaborate birthday dinner with friends in an upscale Chinese restaurant in Fremont, California. A waiter was serving soup into small cups for us to enjoy.

I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
