Thanks, Bob. I looked at the other shots and nothing is hanging over the
edge, so I guess the arranger was not not making a moral statement. This
particular framing is in part the result of trying to avoid harsh
shadows on the wall behind and in par the result of the relatively
narrow angle of view of the FA50mm f1.7.

It would have been nice if you'd included the edge of the table, showing some
of the food and perhaps a knife or something breaking the edge. Still lifes of
this purpose were used not only to show off the patron's wealth and good taste,
but also to make a moral, allegorical point about the transitory nature of
wealth, power and earthly pleasure. To do this the painter often showed
something balancing precariously on the edge of the table, about to fall.

An 18th century wedding feast - what would have been with an affluent family.
Shot at the The Henry Ford's holiday nights thingy last night, where historical
holiday scenes are presented. The hard spot lights on the food did not make for
great lighting but a moderate amount of processing helps.
C&C welcome!
