I'm just going to free flow this comment. I like the shot. It's quaint and I like the texture on the thread. No, it wasn't "low key" enough although looking at a histogram it does qualify. I'm torn between trying this in B&W and keeping the nice warm browns. I think I'd keep it in color. The biggest question is, "why low key?" I'm not sure I have the answer other than to meet the challenge. The texture provided from the side lighting is good, but you don't need low key to accomplish that.

the furniture doesn't seem to be the focus, the cat does.

This is a nice shot, Deb. I can picture it hanging on the wall of a thread shop, for instance. I like the shadows and how you used DOF to separate your subject.

Deb, I'm here after reading the thread; I didn't score this image highly, though I hope you know I usually like your shots. Setups to me need to be special, and the subject matter here just didn't grab me. It was well lit, though more shadows might have helped the low-key feel jump at you (the "normally" lit table to the right distracted me a bit when I first saw the image), and the composition and execution were spot on. I'm just not big on thread . . .

Deb, I definately think this is a low key shot. I think some of the voters think low key is black and white - which the majority of the top scorers submitted. Not taking away from any of those excellent shots, I believe you equally captured a creat low key shot. I see your rule of thirds in this too. I didn't vote in this challenge, but would have scored this very high - 9. Thanks for sharing.

Nice low key shot. I think this would have looked really nice on a darker table. Just my opinion which doesn't mean much. Nice compositon and soft colors. Focus is perfect.

This has very gentle, warm tones and careful lighting. It has been put together perfectly.
