It just happened to be my 25th wedding anniversary last week… set this all up on the deck in the natural light, of course, and then it was shooting and running upstairs to make a new card each time, going down to put new cards in the still life itself, and so on... the card was for my husband, but i wanted it to be the part of this entry as well... right after i picked this picture to submit and decided to print the real card, the printer broke down completely, so i gave a blank card to my husband and let him the pc version... so, that's the story... don't know how this picture will do in the challenge, but it most definitely has sentimental value for me...

Cool - I like the repetition of the image in the card and therepetition of the card in the card and...very imaginative. Wish the background was solid - no folds of cloth, and I wonder what it would be like with a darker background. I realize you are going for the white table cloth look, but perhaps your subject would show up better if you played around with it
Cool effect with the card. I wanna know how ya did that. I think that this scene is a little busy though. Also the color tone here doesn't do it for me personally. Take a couple of elements out and make the colors more natural and I would really like this one!

good filter. i'm not too crazy about the whole dinnerware setup (centerpieces aren't meant to be photographed), but you've got a good sense of design. This photo needs more clarity, better resolution. Textures go a long way when applying monotone filters. Texture goes a long way regardless, actually.
