Sets a very chilly and bleak tone, while one waits for warmer, greener times!

Needs cookies or cheese or some sort of xmas decoration to balance it.

A bit too much grain for my liking but lovely bokeh

It seems like the backlighting was so incredibly bright that you lost the dark tones in processing (or in having to overexpose when shooting. I think you needed a more filtered backlit sun so the lovely lady didn't end up a greyish green on the face and by the ears. =6=

Great capture, love the bokeh.The texture and shapes on the tree are interesting. Reminds me of the old tree legend of the "tree deity".

Nominally the Dining Room Table

Comment by tnun:
I didn't enter this challenge because it would have been too revealing. This is the only entry I can identify with. For a long time our dining room table served as a temporary project of whatever kind work space. Temporary is a long long word. And I put things there simply to compete, to lay claim to some space. Internecine warfare.
