Hello Kurt...now I really like this!! The softness brought about by the sepia toning is so good, and then the book about chess in the front of the gameboard itself...its just grand!Those chesspieces are unique and just lovely too.. And of course, the candle gives the perfect lighting..mmm and the coffee mug...well, the whole thing is for sure a nice idea and nice shot.I've saved it and will enjoy the softness on my screen many times in the future...I need to learn to play chess, we have a gorgeous glass set....gotta try it...I keep thinking I will get bored just sitting there trying to figure out moves..hehe...verena
