Laurie, you were robbed!
This is a wonderful image and deserving of a top ten placement - well done, I'm going to have to add it to my favorites :)

Good shot, looks nostalgic. The white table stands out too much to me.

Lovely texture in the wood. You should sell this to the Jack Daniels company. Beautifully composed and tones. 9

Excellent. I love the color and the texture. IMO this would have looked a little better with a slightly thicker border.

I really love the textures you captured here. Great tonal detail too. I wish there could have been a bit more separation somehow between the barrel and the wall behind it but a great shot none the less.

Beautiful composition, But I'm afraid it will get hit hard for being a duotone. Great detail and wood grain.
