Nice photography, Bill. Merry Christmas.

looks very inviting. merry Christmas

You had me at chocolate---I'm easy that way! Merry Christmas, Bill!!

I love this arrangement and the sense of light and color and improvisation. Wine and chocolates always seem so improvisational, and it recalls a phrase I learned in Croatian. "piti-jesti-piti" I don't know how you spell it exactly, but I know that the "j" is pronounced like a "y." It means "drink-eat-drink" and is sometimes said as a toast. That would be a great title for this image, but I suspect that only Croatians would get it. Not a bad thing, but too specialized an audience. This is a wonderful, warm photo. I love it, and it feels good just looking at it. Merry Christmas.

Beautiful! Warm and cozy and romantic. Perfect for a snowy Christmas Eve.

Enjoy the day, Bill. Sunny and warm here at 22°C at 8:30 in the morning. Will enjoy the hospitality a bit later! Clive

Bill, Santa sure dines well in your house, this should keep him going through the night! Merry Christmas

Wow ... a beautiful setup, and a wonderful photograph! The mood is nicely open and inviting. I might have one of those chocolate nut clusters (yum!!), and the wine looks lovely ... such a gorgeous color! Of course I love the glasses and all the reflections, and the way the light comes in through the window. It's twisting my brain in a knot, trying to figure out which parts are upside down and which are backward. (Okay, the sketch is here in the wine, but it's there in the stem, and the fireplace is on that side ...) It's far too late for me to be trying to figure this out. I can imagine the 3-D wine glass model, though! :D

Warm and inviting shot. Excellent mood.

Excellent capture Bill this looks lovely, a very nice morsel to eat there. I have downloaded a couple of different 3D glasses of wine some which I have used in renders.. see http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1908693&user_id=43578&page=4&member&np http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1907029&user_id=43578&page=4&member&np

Excellent view. Cheers, Merry Christmas.

Excellent image!!

Beautiful warm image, Bill! Have a marvellous time!

Excellent capture!!! like the reflexions on the wine!! Cheers!!! Merry Christmas!

First Crush for me! I would drink both of these all to myself, in the hopes that they would "crush" my gallstones :) Those yogurt covered pretzels look delightful, and making my mouth water! That sweet n' salty treat has become a wonderfully awesome acquired taste for me just recently! Lovely reflections within the glasses, looks soooo good! :) All the best to You and Yours, for 2010!!

A wonderful arrangement. Merry christmas to you too!

Merry Christmas to you~~ Happy Holidays

Bill this is a super nice looking post...wow. Very lovely...romantic even. lol Love the reflections and warm glow it gives (even before the drink...hehe) here. MERRY CHRISTMAS Bill!!

Merry Christmas Bill! Fantastic shot!! Wine for 2... Hmmmm.... :))

The image is great, bill.

Yes please, I would love the hospitality.

Awesome hospitality!!! It doesn't look 'rosatello? (pinkish) wine, it's too orangish, maybe it's jerez or port? or maybe Aperol?

Beautiful Photograph I love it! Angel

wonderful still life!!!!

Excellent setting and capture! :D

This is cool and the reflections are too. Great shot

Cheers!
