Thanks tv, I'll have another go at cropping it!. The original has all the chairs in but I was trying to crop to a closer view and make the table the focal point!
I think this needs a crop down to the margins of the chairs or a reshoot to include all of the chair on the right to make it work. Otherwise it has too much unbalanced jumble of the intricate details clashing. -tv

Maurice, I didn't think it was a night shot till you mentioned it, then I checked the exif. I've actually been experimenting with up to 15 sec exposures with my PowerShot A710 IS, using manual focus also. Some great &/or unusual results. The sky shots have been especially interesting & dramatic.
Like your shot here, looks like daytime, shadows & all.
Thanks Tom, was practising with some night time settings before I go out to get some shots, not sure if the exposure should've been a bit darker! Maurice

The low angle & position of the table legs work well here. Good framing.
