I like the crooked candle. And I enjoyed going back and forth between the two versions of this scene. Always nice to know someone who likes a nicely set table (with a tablecloth)
@francoise Thank you Francoise! I like linens and all sorts of dishes, so I do enjoy setting a nice table even for just Ken and me. It becomes a nice place to linger, even after a meal...
@jamibann Thanks for liking my owl, Issi! He was a gift from a friend who stayed with us. It was in an antique store, but is unsigned. To my mind, he's absolutely wonderful, and I often try to sneak him into my pictures!
@parisouailleurs@seattle Having struggled with low key for some time, I was happy, too, that this turned out! That you two think of a Dutch painting, is very high praise! Wow! Thanks!
Lovely composed shot but if I might say just a little too much light. A low key you should only be able to see the object you are highlighting and not any background. But there are a lot of interpretations so I give you a great big A.
