I hate polishing silver, but have to do it

This would have been so much better without the distracting background. The vase and flowers are great.

Thanks, friiski! At the time I was at a good friend's house,and, guess what? The big distraction in the background is the lettering on the cover of a big, illustrated book about photography, of all things!!!

That's life.

Nice shot

I think this is a great image, perhaps I would have preferred B/W over the sepia type choice, but I think the content is fabulous
