"..only so much better" Surely not, Tara! It looks a lovely comfy place, but I'm sure you can compete..there is NOWHERE better than home for me! Different of course, classier perhaps, cleaner probably, tidier definitely, but not better! A superb pic, by the way, and I can tell they don't have cats..those tassels are intact!

lol...deffo no cats

What a comfy corner to hang out in. Wonderful capture and I love your new avatar great smile. :)

Looks like a wonderful place! And I am especially intrigued by the lamp in the corner behind the chair, it looks very lovely...Great shot!

You have such a kind face, Tara. I bet your smile lights up a room each time. Congratulations to you both, again. God grant you many years. (I do shudder to think what my cats would do to this wonderful room in a short period of time. Boy, would they have fun.)

Great looking corner, however I have to agree with Andrea, there's no place like home! Wonderful shot

OH yes, that is indeed a lovely corner and so comfi too. But where is the footstool? ;-) Is it really better than home? Naaaa?

It is amazing warmth can transcend the sepia monotone! Sadly I would be snoring softly in no time flat in that corner! Baie mooi! Clive

Delightful corner! Excellent shot! :)

Excellent work and congrats!!!

I love this shot! It's incredibly warm and the sepia tones (like traditional monochrome) always heighten an emotional vibe, and this does so wonderfully. The thing about elegance is it's at its truest when it's casual...unthinking...instinctive. Cats show that perfectly, they don't try to be graceful, they just are. True elegance is like that and you've not only captured it here, but you've created it with the image itself! This is really fantastic work. And it's hilarious...I'm wondering how Kafka would look there, brooding in Kafkaesque silence as he's prone to do. This is a great shot!

very good lighting here

splendid capture!

I agree about being better than home. Here you don't have to do the cleaning, it is done for you...definitely better than home! I can see you seated in the chair, looking at Renderosity, chatting with Bill, and sipping wine. Life is good.

Sure looks like a comfy corner, nice capture..

I think I see a new direction in your work, echoing the wonderful change in your life. We need to constantly re-invent ourselves, this image expresses your doing that with style and grace!

You've captured a great decorative corner...can you believe I never sat in that wonderful chair the whole time we were there:) All the furniture was very shiek...yet inviting and comfortable. The black and white adds to the classiness of the image:*

It does look like a comfy seat. Excellent POV and capture! Congrats to you and Bill! :D

wonderful comfortable capture warm hugs, Linda Kaye

There is a very familiar feeling to this...as if it invites a feeling of security.

Beautiful and relaxing corner, great shot!!!

Sigh .. all that's missing is me and my book! PS: I love a happy ending, congrats to you both!

Congratulations to you and Bill. We are so happy for the both of you. Dana & Josephine

Congratulations to you and Bill, my friend. I'm looking forward to the next time I see you both.

Gorgeous moody shot!!

Beautiful shot!!!

Realy love the thight crop and a high key sepia is excelent choice.

This is one of those chairs, I would love to pull my knees up and then read a good book - possible also in front of a warm fireplace, ah, well...one can dream ? a very stylish image Tara, BB p.s. thanks also for the update re: 'homepage archive', I truly wish you well for the future.

Looks a very classy place to just hang out and relax.. Excellent shot.. Rob

Lovely shot.
