This is my favorite of the three because it's the juiciest. The lavish red goes well with the restrained white. All the glasses at this table for two hint at an evening of abandon, as the diners explore the breadth of the wine cellar. I also like the graininess. And red napkins, oh yes.

A lovely and bountiful snack for this troupe of muckety-mucks. It adds to your theme of the month, deepening the perspective through time. My only quibble is that the painting peeking out on the right pulls my vision out of the main focus -- unless that's a dieting aid. Need I mention the current "Dutch Masterpieces" exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum? You're probably well aware of it. Think I'll go to the fridge for an apple.

Yes John, they say that unhappiness is parasitical but happiness is constructed by yourself

I like the idea of this shot, but the composition feels unbalanced to me. IMNSHO, the place setting would be better if it were more to the center or even a square format with the place setting centered. Nice minimalism. It looks like it could be in a refectory.
