...a moment to oneself.

Backlit.....and oh my that is difficult.

All C&C welcome

... before the kids wake up...

That's an early morning scene I can relate to, Sharon. I like the subtle way the lines lead the viewer towards the window. That suggests the subject has a life to get on with after the meal.

I like the processing too, although the light in the lower left quadrant seems to fall off a bit sharply. There seems to be almost a horizontal line at about the level of the drawer handles. I wonder if that is due to the combined effect of the shadow and vignette.

Truthfully Greg..there was some awful ' anti aliasing' going on in the bottom left and I used the shadow and vignette to fix it as i loved the shot so much.

Nicely done.

What a lovely and peaceful image Sharon. Even the arrow on the wall is pointing towards the window
