Very unique idea. Strange, for some reason I like this better as a thumbnail. Perhaps because I can absorb the scene as a whole more clearly.Good stuff.
Yes! What Deb said - I thought it was the light of Claire, who's corset remains, while she is gone. I like this image, though I can see why it wouldn't do well in FS - takes too much time to absorb.
Shows what I know. I inferred that Clair was a woman, was no longer with us, and this was her room, the light her presence. I should read up on my French (which I did study once but that was ever so long ago!) I do like the light - I quite often find myself shooting stuff like this, too.
Interesting assortment of objects; wish I could see more detail on them. Blown highlights don't look ghostly or otherwise interesting and straight-on perspective doesn't really do much for me.
