Wow! Thank you Ovid. I thought it would qualify, but like most of my stuff it seems to be a bit off topic......I try to make my style fit all challenges, but it doesn't always work. I liked this one since I saw the end of the table reflecting the light and grabbed a couple of pieces to arrange a pleasing image. I was happy with the result, especially the blue which is the color of the sky. Shu

Fantastic and I think on topic too: who said a diagonal couldn't curve a bit? and there is a triangle I can see between the objects and their reflections.. /Oved

this is "shu" written all over. i am not a big fan of this kind of "images" but its very difficult not to like the sharpness and concept of this shot. -Abstract

Great picture and very much in your distinct style

Excellent picture Shu, I like the transparency and also the refelection on the long vase repeating the shape of the table. Nice composition -Cat

Shu, Another idea. Keep the table and make it into a yin and yang type of shot with the bowl diagonally across the picture. theFly

What caught my eye on this was the light reflected on my kidney shaped glass-top coffee table. That great space of light is so small that I had quite a time composing this image. Perhaps, if I can, I can figure out a way to capture 3 items with long shadows shot in a diagnal.....I said, "perhaps." Thank you, The Fly. You have given me a suggestion on how to be "on topic." I find that, lately, I am more often off the topic than on. (LOL) Shu

Shu, I agree that it is a good picture, but not sure it is on topic. This could easily be made on topic. Add a third item in an implied triangle and then have the shadows in a diagonal. I would loose the piano curve also. theFly

Geeze--if you wonder if it is on topic or not, I guess it isn't. Homebound, I still wanted to join the challenge (having learned so much during the past year) and I have to look hard to find elements around the house. Guess I'd better keep looking, huh?
But thanks, guys, for letting me know you like the image. Your comments mean a great deal! Shu

I agree with the on-topicness or lack thereof, but Shu, you do have knack for this kind of phototos. Beautiful!

Shu... Hmm, Nice photo, but I'm still trying to decide in my mind if this entry is on topic or not?
