    Abe's Kitchen


    Digging through old pictures from my Springfield trip back in April, and I found a picture of Abe Lincoln's kitchen. One of the better shots from the trip. Comments and critiques much appreciated.

    I think its very good.
    If I nitpick, I wish you had shot from a little more to left so the corner of table and edge of bowl weren't cut off by what I'm assuming is a staircase.
    On the other hand that same angle gives it a look of 'this is what it is' feel.
    Can you tell how easy it is for me to make up my mind?
    Keep Shooting!

    This has the potential for being a great shot...beautiful light, excellent exposure, but too bad that angled wall dominates by covering about 1/3 of the frame.

    Gerald, I'm with Frog and Charles. Great potential, wall distracts. Sometimes you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    Yeah, the wall was a bit distracting, but here's another shot of the table. The carrot bowl is a little cut off, but there's less of the wall.
