    Interesting concept Tuna, the tonal range and "bouquet" is very appealing.
    The only thing that might be out of context is what it seems to be a lamp (right top corner) but trimming it horizontally will kill the foliage which I consider and important part of the whole.

    Yes, the light/lamp was something I missed and didn't notice until I was travelling without access to PS or the image file - so I used the cropping function in Photobucket and it seems to have done the trick...

    I thought i already commented on this. but I really love the composition here. It just works and the brown tones contrasted by the stark black and red make it pop. It feels really classy. The reflections also give it another dimension. overall well executed, i think .

    Tuna,

    I have been looking at this one off and on, for a couple of days now, I can not put my finger on it to say what it is that I like. I just do, a captivating capture.
