You are to be congratulated on your control with the Velvia -- nice cubtle colors and good, light just about exactly right for my eye. The patina's wonderful, and any time I see anything like this, I think of all the hands . . .
I like the crop, myself. the jutting-out bit on the left gives it a diagonal (at least for my peculiar eye it does)
I love the patina of the wood. Wonderful lighting, especially to be shot through a window! Great job. I might question the crop just a tad, but what do I know? See you, Rhonda
