I've missed viewing your photos, Lois but it pleases me greatly to see how far you've come and how many friends you have made here at webshots. Now I need a cuppa myself so I'd better go and put the kettle on.

Really having a hard time even picking a favorite from your entries! I'm STILL stunned that you didn't take first, second, AND third with your stunning entries in this challenge! The light, the light, the light! It's just superb! I want to have my morning coffee with YOU!! Sooooo warm and inviting! The reflections of the spoon and the flowers add a very special touch! Mighty fine job, my dear!

Hi, I am looking for quotes on photograhy and when I found this one: "The moment you take the leap of understanding to realize you are not photographing a subject but are photographing light is when you have control over the medium." - Alberta (2004) was when I thought of this picture. Faul

This is absolutely gorgeous!!! I'm bookmarking this as a favourite photo. It's so British, suddenly names of old Agatha Christie novels came popping out from my mind. (She's my favourite and now I can't see how I'll get anything more done today seeing I'll have to pick one of her books, make myself a nice (what else) cup of the and go sit in the sun and read. To bad the ironing wont get done today either :-) All the best!!!! Anitha

Hey Lois, this is glorious! Would have been a perfect still life entry for last week too. The lighting in this shot is simply superb - could not have been any better. I think this shot should have been in the winner's circle! Have a great week. Cheers, Sandra.

Beautiful setting, dramatic lighting - and I love the wooden table. The patterns are so rich, and the light make the wood glow.

said ornella173 5 months 8 days ago

By the way. I chose to have a look at this picture purely from the thumbnail on the display page. I only saw who it was when I came to see your entries after your response to my entries. I still think it is a perfect entry. Faul

said arsfb 5 months 8 days ago

Outstanding! Good luck!

said lnayvelt 5 months 8 days ago

Lovely composition, cheers!!!

said haneveercoremanssh... 5 months 8 days ago

Hi Lois! Still drinking coffee I see. And again I am completely overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of this photo. I do appreciate your subtle referring to my favorite Herman´s Hermits song `No milk today`. This piece of art perfectly meets the requirements of the challenge as far as dramatic light concerns. The light falls precisely on the careful selected high quality botanical herbs and the slightly even a little shy colored petals, which lovely surround the creme colored little cup. Look at the reflections on the silvertoned coffeecan, I can really enjoy that. The fine dark red table clothing is the cherry on the cake. You are my winner!

said oomt 5 months 8 days ago

Perfect entry. Faul

Lois my dear, I am officially granting you the title of ~Queen of the Table~. Every table setting photo you have done is absolutely stunning and magazine worthy in my opinion. Should be in Home & Garden books :o) Absolutely lovely and magnificent use of light...an extremely inviting photo! Wishing you the best of luck in the challenge dear. Renee
