Description
I tried six ways from Sunday to get that glare off the tabletop. I give up. This was shot hand-held in available light, and we were sitting in the middle of the room. (I had hoped for a table by the window, but they were all occupied, and I didn't like to ask anyone to move!)
What captured my attention about this, aside from the fact that the food is beautiful, was the reflections of the dishes in the marble tabletop.
This is tea, of course, along with a seaweed salad. Michele ordered that. I don't like seaweed. (Not in a box, not with a fox, not in a house, not with a mouse!) I've tried it several ways, and have decided it's just one of those things I won't eat.
Anybody got any brilliant suggestions about the glare?
