Man you have gotten alot out of this table!! I love this Susan... Another creative shot!! #7445198Pat Gamwell April 24, 2009
LOVE it! Welcome back! I like that you blurred the reflection..it blends in well with the vintage theme! #7445236Susan Fox April 24, 2009
Thank you Jessica, Melissa, Julianna, Dominick, Christina, Kara and Pat!Took over 100 photos to get one just the way I wanted. No photoshoping done except for levels/color and a bit of texture added. The blur of the reflection was done in camera since I had the focus set on the compact itself.
Thanks :-)

Very creative and beautiful, Susan! #7445381Mitch Spence April 24, 2009
Nice, Susan. The feel of the image is perhaps modern with antique "things" and perhaps vintage, with the person and things of the same age. And we don't care which, because either has a story we want to pursue. #7445386Dr Silly April 24, 2009

Very creative and beautifully executed. Congratulations on another finalist Susan! #7663835Laura E. Swan June 13, 2010
I really like this one Susan. Great focus! That would have been a trick if this was an SP! Those were the good old days when compacts were metal! :) I remember the powder puffs were really fluffy with some of them, too, unlike our flat ones of today. The colors in this image are really delightful, too, from the striking lipstick to the vintage looking table.You have an incredible gallery. It was rewarding to stop in again!
