Description
Houmas House
Louisiana
It's the light, of course. It reminded me of your "early morning hunting" light. Just imagine a cat wherever it looks best to you, and the scene will be complete. :)
I hope you're having a wonderful birthday, my friend, filled with all the things you love best.
Happy Birthday, Craig!

Good overall composition. Happy birthday Craig :) :)
beautiful mood
That Harp is simply fascinating to look at - but even more so is that upholstery pattern on the chair, all sorts of insects: Butterflies, Moth (?) and Dragonflies, how amazing and wonderful at the same time - "they don't make them like that anymore" ... (not that I have ever seen it, but then again I may live a pretty sheltered sort of a life here in Down Under ;P ... and not to forget THAT lighting, it's so cool and makes a fine dedi for your friend.

Wonderful shot and great dedication I hope you have move photos of the harp
Oh yes so lovely!!! I also would like to see more of the harp in this scene. It is really gorgeous with the lighting the way you photographed it. Thanks for sharing Craig's birthday gift with us. Happy birthday Craig.
Lovely image and dedication.
If I imagine a cat I also see a Fritz seething with the urge to kill it, which rather spoils the mood. A very beautiful photo.
The cat went into hiding when she was told (erroneously) that the harp strings were made from catgut...! Wonderful light and your usual eye for superb composition. Thanks so much for this gorgeous gift, Tara. You're a star (but of course, you knew that..!)
Stunning composition as always; this is superb!
i have no words that could possibly do this foto justice; it's simply stunning!!
Sup shooting.
Happy BIrthday, Craig!!! And Craig can relax because catgut is actually from goats or sheep, and occasionally cattle---so cats of the world, relax! Besides the harp and chair, the light behind and the light in front make this a beautiful photograph, Tara. The harp and chair are almost "zen" in juxtaposition, even though their ornamentations harmonize with each other: It's the fact of a 'chair' and a 'harp' that make them so totally different. It's a piece of a glorious-looking instrument, hidden behind a beautiful chair, making a beautiful pov. The light on the chair---bathed as it is in your deep brown shadows---is contrasted with that utter white light---I was going to say "flat" white, but it's more luminous than flat. And the contrast of berries and leaves with those ephemeral curtains is more zen contrast: It's beautiful. A beautiful and luminous capture, with loving contrasts, and the feeling of a very intimate space being lit from somewhere special---somehow all features that Craig makes his fans feel. A beautiful dedi for Craig, and a beautiful photo (which everyone else agrees with). Happy birthday again, Craig!
A very beautiful and classic photo, Tara! This is wonderful!
Old world elegance - other than the light, I especially like the figures carved on the harp & the insect motif on the chair back...
Superb capture and dedication Tara. God bless.
yes this is good. guess it still at oak alley this shot was taken as with the other photos?
The curtains harp and chair, the light, so smoothly, diffuse, everywhere, all the subtle reflections such gentle, makes this an intensely, lovely sight.
Amazing work as always. I immediately knew that was Houmas House. I visited it in 2013. Fascinating place isn't it?
