These canapés seem quite excited to be offering their caviar. Some of them are slipping their pickles, while others are going completely hatless. The heavy silver tray and fancy doily heighten the look of luxury we associate with caviar. I am amazed to discover that the tiny hint of disorder adds immeasurably to the photo. I have been involved with hosting great banquets in my professional life, so I know the energetic anticipation that goes into preparing and serving the food. This tray of canapés is a wonderful metaphor for the bustling chefs and food servers rushing around in their preparations. The subdued light is perfect, since the lights are oftened dimmed at such affairs.
